The Blotter VI

Stop! In the Name of Love: During an argument between a young couple as they drove down a local road, the boyfriend got so mad he threw his cell phone at his girlfriend, hitting her in the stomach. She then grabbed the gearshift and slammed it into park. After the car ground to a halt, the man punched the woman in the back of the head and ripped her shirt as he forced her out of the car. Then he drove away.

Drag and Drop: A car pulled up at a local gas station and the driver asked a man standing outside for directions. Then suddenly, other men in the car attempted to rob the guy. During the struggle, the man got hung up on the car and was dragged for several feet before the car sped away. He was treated and released from the hospital.

Hello? Hot Phones for Sale: Using various client accounts from a local business, a sneaky shyster ordered 400 cell phones at a cost of $36,600. When the phones were delivered to the business, the crook somehow managed to snag them undetected. He then reportedly sold the phones on the streets.

Where's Bo and Luke?: Some renegade rascals crashed a car through the front window of a North Tryon Street retail store. They stole $30,000 worth of clothes, shoes and hats. Apparently the car was stolen because they left it behind. Damage to the store was estimated at $3,500.

I'm Gonna Cut You? (That's so 1975.): A trio of crooks strolled into a SouthPark department store, grabbed $1,200 worth of women's jackets, and made for the exit. When a security officer attempted to stop them, one of the shoplifters threatened, "Move or I'm gonna cut you." A fight broke out, one of the shoplifters assaulted the officer and all three got away. Temporarily. Cops captured the guys in their getaway car a few blocks down the road.

Decked in the Deck: Three hoodlums jumped a 23-year-old partier after a night out at a couple of downtown bars. As the partier approached his car in a parking deck, the three guys shoved him into the vehicle and began punching him in the face and stomach. A witness flagged down a cop, who arrested the trio.

The Blotter V

Smooth Operator: A woman was loading groceries into her car when a stranger approached and greeted her. "How are you doing ma'am?" he said, then reached inside her car and grabbed her purse, which was sitting on the front seat. He then got into a shiny new red sports car and took off.

Smile, You're on "I'm Busted" TV: A pair of crooks removed two floor buffers from a truck parked in front of a hotel and hid them behind some bushes. The duo returned a short time later in a car and picked up the buffers. Too bad for them the entire incident was caught on surveillance tape, which showed the geniuses' faces as well as the car they were driving.

Thinks He's Houdini: A very determined crook broke into an auto insurance company by digging his way under one fence, then crawling over an electric fence by placing a rubber floor mat over the electric wires. Once he got inside, the crook broke into five cars and stole the airbags out of each.

Smooth Operator, the Sequel: A man walked into a Charlotte home-improvement store, took a $265 drill from the shelf and then walked out the front door. A store employee who saw the drill heist go down chased the man outside, and the two men commenced to fighting. The crook eventually broke free, jumped into the back seat of a car and sped away.

Close Call: As a man walked into his apartment recently, a gun-wielding home invader grabbed him. The man tried to fight off the bad guy, who fired his gun into the air. The bullet hit the ceiling and whirled into the apartment upstairs. No one was injured, but the bad guy got away.

Art for Crime's Sake: Some brilliant local artistes vandalized several Charlotte houses under construction. When workers showed up at the job sites, they discovered the houses had been tagged with graffiti, windows had been broken and several appliances had been damaged. Maybe that should be "crime for art's sake."

Closer Call: While sitting at a stop sign, a 20-year-old man was approached by a guy who a gun who attempted to rob the driver. As the young motorist pulled away, the gunman fired a round at the car, shattering the driver's side window. The young man escaped injury.

The Blotter IV

Can You Hear Me Now?: While waiting at a bus stop, two women got into an argument over an incident the previous night involving one of the women's boyfriends. One woman grabbed a cell phone away from the other and then hurled it back at her, striking her in the forehead.

Talking Trash: As a man was mowing his front yard, he saw a passerby toss a can on the street near his house. The homeowner confronted the litterbug, who became irate, spit at the homeowner and threatened to "fuck his ass up."

Young Love: A young married couple should be heading for divorce court soon, as each has taken out restraining orders on the other following several fights. During the most recent spat, the blushing bride reportedly destroyed most of her hubby's clothes with a pair of scissors.

Residential slap facility: A worker at a residential care facility smacked a physically disabled 40-year-old resident in the head. The "heath care" worker was reportedly fired on the night of the offense. However, when the disabled man's guardian heard about the assault several days later, he called police.

Flat-out pissed: Some prankster broke into a transportation company near downtown and flattened all the tires on three buses, causing a whopping $7,200 in damages (each bus had 6 tires, at $400 each). Moreover, the three buses had just been washed and detailed for an upcoming inspection. An employee at the transportation company told police there was only one person with access to the buses at the time of the vandalism, and that there had been ongoing acrimony between this individual and the company

Busted Bad Guys: As a 44-year-old man was getting out of his car at a south Charlotte apartment complex, two gunmen kidnapped him, struck him in the head and robbed him of $20. The gunmen were later identified and arrested.

Video violence: A gunman walked into a video store on East Boulevard and demanded that the woman behind the counter open the register. When the employee told him she couldn't open the register, he hit her in the face, grabbed her by the hair, forced her to the ground, and struck her several more times. Another employee eventually came out from the back of the store and opened the register. After grabbing the cash, the bad guy fled in a getaway car.

Tuesday Feels Like Monday



Blotter Threat O’The Week: “If you bring your fucking ass to church, I’m going to kick your black ass across the church.” Apparently, the Rev. Ike Turner has brought the First Church of Ass-Kicking to the Holy City.

On Aug. 21, a woman threatened her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend by saying, “I’m gonna cut her up and throw her over the bridge.” Wow, people just can’t stop talking about that new bridge!

Blotter Word O’Tha Week: “Hoing (hoe-ing) v. the act of being a ho or involving oneself in ho-like activities,” as heard on an Aug. 22 telephone call, when one woman told another, “I’m just calling to let you know you are a hoing prostitute and I’m going to kick your ass.”

On Aug. 23, the manager of a West Ashley grocery store watched as a former employee, holding what looked like a crowbar, shook a soda machine. When the manager asked what he was doing, the man replied, “Getting my quarter out!” Talk about making “7Up Yours!”

A woman walked into an Orleans Road sandwich shop on Aug. 22 and, after paying for an empty cup, began screaming, “I’m crazy don’t stop me, I’m fucking crazy, don’t come near me, I gotta feed my baby!” The woman then grabbed and ran off with four bags of chips, four cookies, three brownies, and two Bundt cakes. Now, that is going to be one fat baby.

A Folly Road grocery store employee called police on Aug. 15 to report that two males had stolen 40 ?D? batteries and 38 ?C? batteries. Authorities tried to arrest the suspects, but witnesses had already seen them flee the scene. Evidently, they kept going, and going, and going ...


A man approached a fellow customer at a Meeting Street grocery store on Aug. 15, asking for a dollar. The customer refused and told the man that he ?needed to get a job.? The man then threatened the patron and warned, ?I?ll kill you if I don?t get that dollar.? If the guy had given him a quarter, would he have gotten off with just a maiming?


Blotter Threat O?The Week: ?I know where you live!? shouted a man as he demanded money from another man. What makes this threat special? He was inside the man?s room.


A man gave police a U.S. Air Force ID of a woman on Aug. 13 after being pulled over for turning without a signal. The man refused to clarify the situation to the cop, perhaps thinking he could evoke the military?s policy of ?don?t ask, don?t tell.?


Blotter Items Used To Threaten Violence With O?The Week: a hammer, a fire extinguisher, and a 2-foot by 4-foot piece of wood. Apparently, parents can forget about Grand Theft Auto and worry more about their kids watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.


A man called police on Aug. 14 from his Norman Street residence to report that someone had cut large holes in both his front and back fences to provide a passageway for foot traffic. In other news, the unknown subject has just won the City Paper?s Good Samaritan Award for tearing down the walls between ? never mind, too obvious.
