Restaurant held up at closing time
A man with a gun robbed an Old Trolley Road restaurant as it was closing Tuesday night.
The armed suspect walked into Ye Ole Fashioned Ice Cream and Sandwich Cafe about 11 p.m. and made two employees lay on the floor before grabbing cash from the register and fleeing, Dorchester County Sheriff’s Maj. John Garrison said.
No customers were in the restaurant at the time, he said.
The suspect is described as a black male, 18-30 years old, 6 feet and 180 pounds. Anyone with information on the robbery may call the sheriff’s office at 873-5111 or Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.

Report: Mother slams son’s head, curses at officer
Summerville police arrested a Ladson woman on a disorderly conduct charge for aggressively confronting an officer in the Oakbrook Elementary School parking lot Oct. 12. This was after she allegedly slammed her son’s head into a file cabinet in a guidance counselor’s office.
The woman, 32, was called to the school to pick up her son because he had been misbehaving, an incident report says. She was angry when she arrived to get him and she grabbed him by the shirt before slamming his head, the report says. The boy was not injured and declined medical attention.
She reportedly was cursing and pushing her son toward her car when the counselor and an administrator tried to calm her down. She would not comply, so they called the school resource officer, the report says.
The officer tried to calm the woman down but was unsuccessful. She reportedly cursed at him as other parents, her son and other witnesses looked on.
After she confronted the officer in an “aggressive manner,” she was arrested for disorderly conduct, the report says.

Woman chops up bed in martial rage
Using a butcher knife, a North Charleston destroyed her mattress and pillows because, she said, her husband had sex with other women in it and contracted sexually transmitted diseases as a result, a sheriff’s office report says.
A deputy was called to their home Oct. 10 after the husband reported that she had locked him out and was going to harm herself with a knife. Not true, the wife said.
She was “enraged” at him because of his affairs with women he brought home from a local bar, she said. Rather than get in a physical altercation with him, she let out her frustration on the bed, she said.
The husband left home for the night on his own free will and the wife had a friend stay with her, the report says. The deputy noted there was no indication of a fight or any threats.
