Another Waccamaw Neck robbery

Investigators are still searching for a man who robbed Advantage America in Murrells Inlet Wednesday morning.

A female worker said a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses walked into the Mink Ave. store and robbed her at gunpoint.

She said when he demanded money, she gave him $46. He then asked if the store had a bathroom and when the woman said “yes” the robber placed her in that room and locked the door.

The woman stayed in the bathroom until she was sure the man was gone.

She then notified a manager who called 911.

It was at least the fifth armed robbery reported on the Waccamaw Neck in about a week.

No one has been arrested in any of the incidents.

Unruly hospital visitor

A Conway woman is accused of getting into an altercation with a security guard at Waccamaw Community Hospital.

The woman had calmed down by the time a deputy arrived but the officer spoke with her. She claims she was discriminated against by the guard.

She said during the altercation the guard “intentionally bumped into her as he was walking away.”

Also at Waccamaw Hospital

A 23-year-old woman allegedly shouted profanity and even tried to hit some staff members of the hospital Nov. 11.

An emergency room doctor said the unruly woman was being uncooperative and unruly in front of many staff members.

The woman appeared to be intoxicated, the deputy reported, so she was arrested after she was discharged.

She was taken from the hospital to jail, charged with public intoxication.

While being handcuffed, the woman spit on the deputy.

School employee threatened

A female employee of Carvers Bay High School said she was threatened by another female worker Nov. 11.

The complainant said she was approached by the subject inside the school. She said the woman called her “a slut” and then said “did you hear me, I called you a slut?”

The victim said she refused to get into an altercation because she was at school.

A little while later the suspect approached her again and said “wait until the next time I see you” which the victim believes was a threat.

The victim said the altercation stems from an incident in which the subject’s husband approached the victim and asked if she was interested in him, to which the victim said “no”, the report states.

Threatening phone call

A Wedgefield Plantation woman stopped by the Sheriff’s Office Nov. 10 to report a threatening phone call she received at her home.

She said when the phone rang she saw it was from a blocked number. When she answered, a male voice stated “I intend to permanently erase you.”

The woman said she fears for her life because of the call.

Deputies said they will work with the telephone company to try to trace the call.

Officer verbally assaulted

A member of the drug team of the Sheriff’s Office received a voice mail on his work phone Nov. 11 from a 38-year-old Andrews woman who was upset her boyfriend had been arrested.

On the voice mail, the woman used “vulgar language” towards the officer, according to a deputy who listened to the call and wrote the report.

She said her boyfriend had been arrested for “no reason.”

Deputies went to the woman’s home and placed her under arrest for unlawful use of a telephone.
