The following reports were collected  from local law enforcement offices:

A man delivering newspapers couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw a naked 18-year-old woman next to Goude Street in Murrells Inlet a few minutes before 5 a.m. Friday.
The man called 911 but the woman took off running towards some woods before officers arrived.
Deputies searched and found the woman passed out under a camper in the yard of a Goude Street residence.
She was wearing only a lingerie top and nothing else.
EMS was called to the scene and before they arrived, the woman started waking up and was somewhat combative towards the officers.
She was transported to the emergency room where deputies talked to her.
She said she was with her boyfriend and had four drinks before they got into an argument. She said she left and started walking down the road but her story changed several times.
The doctors determined she had not been raped so, the deputy determined the woman’s condition was due to intoxication.

Teen flees
It took a while to do but authorities were finally able to take a 16-year-old from McClellanville into custody after he led them on a high speed chase early Saturday.
A deputy clocked the teen driving 87 mph on Highway 17 near North Santee at about 3 a.m. Saturday.
Deputies in two separate vehicles attempted a traffic stop on the Honda mini van and the teen slowed down to about 45 mph but soon picked up speed once again.
Once in Charleston County, the chase speeds reached 100 mph.
The teen turned onto South Santee Road. He then pulled into a driveway and ran from the van.
Charleston County police arrived and the teen gave himself up, saying he did not want to run anymore.
His mother said she had  no idea he had taken her van. She said she wanted him to be taken to jail.
He was charged with failure to stop for a blue light.

Inappropriate relationship
A girl who is now 15-years-old admits she had a physical relationship with a 29-year-old man.
After being called by the girl’s mother, deputies talked to the teen, now 15, who said she and the man kissed a few times while she was at her father’s house in the Pleasant Hill area last Thanksgiving.
She said she and the man never had sex.
Just to be sure, the woman took her daughter to the doctor who confirmed the girl has not had sex.
The man continues to communicate with the teen by way of email, telling her he loves and misses her.
The teen’s mother says the man has done this same thing with two other young teenagers.
The case is active

Razor theft
A 49-year-old Pawleys Island man is accused of stealing a $135 electric razor from the CVS on Ocean Highway Oct. 15.
A manager said the man — whom she recognized from previous thefts — walked in the store and hung around the razors for a while.
He then walked out and set off the alarm.
The manager ran out and yelled for him to stop but he drove away on a bicycle.
The manager said she did not actually see the man take the razor but she knows one was missing.

Homeless vs. Homeless
A 50-year-old man who said he is homeless and has been living under the Maryville Bridge said he was attacked by a 42-year-old man who has been staying at that same location.
The man had an abrasion on his head which he said was caused by the younger man.
When police found the younger man under the bridge, he was also injured. He said he was attacked by the older man, so both men were detained but declined to press charges.
They were both released.
