A manager of the Murrells Inlet Bank of America reported a suspicious man in the bank Dec. 21.

The worker said the man had on black gloves and a cap pulled low on his head. He also had in a waistband a handgun, a pair of brass knuckles and a knife.

The man was there with his mother who spent about 15 minutes conducting business.

During that time, the man “paced throughout the bank and appeared to make several customers and employees nervous,” the report states.

Once the subject’s mother finished her business, the manager walked out to the parking lot and asked the man to not take weapons in the bank.

The man got confrontational and said he has a right to carry weapons anywhere he pleases.

The manager was told to call 911 if the man returns to the bank.

Christmas display

A man from Fieldgate Circle in Pawleys Island said someone messed with the Christmas display in his yard Dec. 21.

There was no actual damage to the display. The man said he wanted a report filed because it was not the first time someone messed with the decorations.

The man said he would install a deer camera in an attempt to identify the suspects.
