Moncks Corner Shenanigans

**Mobetter** · 06-16-2021, 11:51 AM

It’s been a while since we have done a Facebook favorite. Allow us to reintroduce #WarrantsWednesday!! This story is a great catch 😉
Hey, diddle, diddle. The Crane and the fiddle.
The baby gator jumped over the moon. The deputy laughed to see such sport, and the suspect ran away strewn.
Today’s #WantEmWednesday goes to 48-year-old Tracy Lee Crane of Melrose Place in Moncks Corner! A deputy was conducting traffic enforcement in the area of Highway 402 when he observed a vehicle with a vehicle registration violation. The deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle… and what do you know?! The driver, later identified as Tracy Lee Crane did not stop. Crane continued driving until his vehicle got stuck on a wood pile and then he fled from the traffic stop. We wouldn’t call it Blue’s Clues but Crane left something pretty important in the car… his cell phone! We know when that hotline blings… that can only mean one thing. #BUSTED!!!
We won’t get snappy but during an inventory of the vehicle Crane left behind something that would make anyone call an in-vesti-gator. Deputies discovered a baby alligator inside of a bookbag! After a short bonding moment, Wally the Baby Gator was safely relocated with the help of SCDNR.
Crane is currently wanted by BCSO and SCDNR. He has active warrants for Failure to Stop for Blue Lights and Sirens, Driving Under Suspension – Second Offense, Expired Registration and Possessing an Alligator without a License. As far as the #CriminalFax for Crane, he has an EXTENSIVE arrest history in South Carolina. He has been booked into the HFDC nine times since 2016. Those charges include DUS (x2), Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (x2), Shoplifting, Breaking into a Motor Vehicle (x2), Possession of Methamphetamine (x2), Violation of a County Ordinance and Failure to Stop for Blue Lights (x2).

Yep, when I was in high school I caught a copperhead, put it in a crown royal bag and took it to my biology teachers house to make sure it was a copperhead. Needless to say he wasn't pleased when I dumped it in his front yard

Similar story.

My dad is a college coach. I was young, probably around 8 or 9 years old if I had to guess, they were playing USC-Salkehatchie in Allendale. There were some woods by the field and I was playing with the younger brother of one of the players on the team. We found a snake in a ditch and decided to pillage a fungo bat and a pillow case from the vans (a random players pillow case, without permission) to catch it. Surprisingly, we succeeded, and decided it was a good idea to bring the snake to the dug out during the game, and show off our new pet ...... Long story short, it was a cotton mouth, no one was too happy about it, and we were told to release it right away with out getting bit.

Well, he's probably a member here!

I put a gator about that size in my buddies live well just before a tourney blast off at Blacks fish camp- quite the surprise when he opened it to put in his first fish Lol.

Story checks out...

I know someone who put a 4-5' gator in the backseat of a truck, under a jacket after a duck hunt so his son would sit on it when he got in.

That's pretty good. Unless it didn't well, of course... but sounds like a good setup.

Haha - I don't know the guy but I've probably seen him in the Moncks Corner Walmart.

It looks like Mr. Crane took a round across his cheek, giving him that rugged Ernst Rohm look.

Fun fact.

German university students used to duel each other with sharp little swords for the hell of it. The scars, usually on the left cheek, from the duels were called "schmisse" and were a big deal badge of honor type thing.

Apparently, it wasn't so much that you won the duel, but that you acted honorably while dueling and didn't act like a little bitch if you got cut.

**w33kender** · 06-16-2021, 02:53 PM

I've read of that practice back then in Germany but never made the connection with Rohm's face. It makes perfect sense, good job in pointing that out. He definitely has scarring on his left cheek as you've described.
