The following reports were collected from local law enforcement offices:
School fight
A fight between two Carvers Bay High students resulted in charges being levied against both Nov. 4.
The students – ages 17 and 14 — gave conflicting accounts about what led to the fight.
The 17-year-old said the younger student started it by slapping him in the face after being told to keep his hands off him.
The younger students said it was the 17-year-old who started it.
The older student had no visible injuries but the other had several scratches on his face and was treated by the nurse.
Knife threat
A man from Spring Pond Lane said three men armed with knives threatened him inside his home Nov. 8.
He said it started earlier in the day when he confronted one of the suspects about speeding through the neighborhood.
The driver got upset and said he would return with some of his friends “and it would be settled,” the report states.
When the suspects returned, one of them pulled a knife and threatened to “gut” the victim.
That is when the victim walked into his house and grabbed a shotgun.
The suspects said the complainant threatened to shoot them all.
Warrants have been issued for the suspects for assault of a high and aggravated nature.
Doughnuts on the green
A manager at the Founder’s Club in Pawleys Island reported a vandalism Nov. 8.
The man showed a deputy the 4th green where someone had used a four wheeler or dirt bike to cut doughnuts on the grass.
The damage was estimated at $300.
Attempted coin theft
Someone tried to break into a coin machine at a car wash at 2610 Highmarket Street Nov. 3.
The complainant showed police the machine which had pry marks on all four sides. It looked like the suspect tried to pull the machine from the wall.
An air freshener machine located next to the coin machine was also broken into. An unknown amount of change was taken.
Damage is estimated at more than $1,900.
Underage smoking
Someone reported seeing a 16-year-old girl smoking a cigarette while sitting outside the Georgetown Library on Cleland Street Nov. 4.
When questioned by an officer, the girl said she was 20-years-old but the officer said he could tell she was not being truthful.
Through a computer check, her real age was determined, so she was arrested for unlawful possession of tobacco and was released to a relative.
