Cop To The Punch
Columbia, SC
On Dec. 23, a 57-year-old man was standing at a crosswalk near Townes Center Place, yelling at traffic. The man crossed the road and punched the rear end of a car, which just happened to be a police officer’s personal vehicle. The officer got out of his car and identified himself to the man, who began apologizing and shaking. The man repeatedly told the cop how sorry he was and, continuing to shake, presented his identification to the officer. A woman who was with the subject stood by and at one point “rudely interrupted, saying: “Who are you!†to the officer. But, apparently because the man had apologized so many times and it was just before Christmas, the officer decided not to arrest him.
