Thirsty: A suspect forced their way into a 51-year-old woman's west Charlotte home, violating a protective order, before fleeing the scene with a gallon of Riva Vodka. Riva? They were clearly doing the victim a favor.
What Do You Think It Was?: An adult store located on South Boulevard reported that a woman went into the back of the store and tried to conceal an "adult item" inside her purse. The item was valued at $64. Any guesses?
You Forgot The Kitchen Sink!: There are plenty of reports of people trying to shoplift an item or two, or perhaps a case of beer, but the suspect caught trying to leave a Steele Creek-area Harris Teeter was looking to set a record. Among the items taken were $40 worth of Dove Men Bodywash, $80 of other kinds of Dove Body Wash, $50 of Nivea Body Wash, nearly $20 of Nestle's Crunch Bites, Gain and Tide laundry detergent, diapers, Charmin toilet paper, Bounty paper towels, more than $20 worth of Starkist Tuna, $125 worth of filet mignon, $70 worth of ribs, $22 worth of ground beef, $56 worth of beef brisket and pork chops, $370 worth of tenderloin, $30 worth of boneless chicken and chicken wings, $72 worth of pork ribs, $35 worth of pork chops and $72 worth of shrimp totalling more than $1,000. Seriously? Not one vegetable or side dish?
The Sticky Bandits: A 32-year-old man called police after noticing vandalism of his Hyundai Elantra, which was parked at his east Charlotte residence. Someone damaged two of the car's tires and wrote "Bitch, I'm Back" on the vehicle's hood using glue.
Blotter items are chosen from the files of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.
