“I’m going to break his fucking neck.” That’s what police officers say a 52-year-old homeless man yelled at the live-in staff member of a Salvation Army. Earlier an officer had witnessed the same homeless man with a large stick in his hand; 2000 block Main Street.

A 39-year-old woman tells cops that she and her 45-year-old guy friend were just “joking around” when he choked her so hard she passed out. The fun and games weren’t over, either. When the woman woke up she had a bloody nose and cuts on her arms from falling down; 1800 block Hampton Street.

Imagine you’re sound asleep at 2:30 a.m. and the phone rings. When you answer it there’s a haunting voice on the other end. “Look in your coat pocket,” it says. “And on the dresser.” You do. And in your coat pocket, and on your dresser, are two kitchen knives that came from your kitchen— that weren’t there when you went to sleep. Talk about psycho. Well, that’s what happened to a 49-year-old woman this week when her ex-common-law husband broke into the house in the middle of the night (and while on a restraining order) to scare the bejesus out of her. It worked; 2200 block Pinehurst Road.

Whispers outside the front door. That’s what led a 55-year-old man to check out his porch at 8:30 p.m. last week only to find two of his expensive potted plants missing from their usual spots. The leaves thieves would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for a dirt trail that led directly to a neighboring house. Cops say there were even some of the plant’s leaves stuck in the door of the house in question. When cops questioned the owner of the house she said she had nothing to do with it, but within sight, two of the plants (one weighing over 70 pounds and worth $350) could be seen in the 52-year-old suspect’s living room. Welcome to the front lines of suburban warfare, folks; 1100 block Zeigler Road.

Police say a 34-year-old homeless man walked into the Carolina First in Five Points and handed a note demanding money to a bank teller. He then stuck his hands into his pockets implying that he had a gun, but ran away just as the fuzz showed up. Cops chased the man through Five Points as several witnesses pointed out which way he ran, and they eventually found him behind a dumpster. The would-be bank robber told the police he tried to rob the bank because he was a felon and couldn’t find a job, they said; 1900 block Blossom Street.

A South Carolina State Trooper tells the Columbia city police this week that someone smashed in the window of his cruiser and jacked a black flashlight and nothing else. No shotgun? No laptop? With only $150 in damage to the car and the missing flashlight it sounds like Smokey got off lucky; Columbia.
