Vandals strike WHS
The dugouts, a wind screen and signs around the field were spray painted with graffiti at the Waccamaw High baseball field.
Principal David Hammel reported the incident May 2.
The graffiti included vulgar words and drawings. Also drawn on a windscreen was the name of two people who had been removed from the baseball team, the report states.
A coach said the two were kicked off the team because they "were disrespectful and always used vulgar language," the report states.
No arrests have been made.
Man defends daughter
A Murrells Inlet man said he was enjoying supper with his family May 3 when a stranger -- a 28-year-old North Carolina man -- walked up and started making "obscene comments" towards his 12-year-old daughter.
The man said he told the stranger to stop making those type of remarks and the suspects pushed him and attempted to hit him several times.
A witness saw what was happening and helped the man wrestle the suspect to the ground.
It was later learned the suspect pulled a knife from his pocket during the struggle which he used to try to stab the 12-year-old girl's father.
Once deputies arrived the suspect was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.
Domestic dispute
A Georgetown man called 911 May 2 after his girlfriend showed up at his house trying to patch things up between them.
He said he asked her to leave when she started shouting. That's when she reportedly grabbed a BB gun and threatened to use it to kill herself.
The man took the gun from her and called police.
Can't spy there
A Murrells Inlet man was warned he would be arrested for trespassing after he was reportedly inside the Riverwood Condominium complex without permission.
After receiving a call from a concerned resident, the man was found by a deputy in a parking area on the property.
The man said he thinks his wife is having an affair and he was there trying to catch her in the act.
The man was advised that only residents and invited guests were allowed on the property and he needed to leave.
