Man tells area police he's 'U.S. marshal in training'
A man lying face-up in a department store parking lot claimed to be "doing surveillance work for the U.S. marshals," a North Charleston police report states.
The 30-year-old man reportedly gave varying stories April 29 to a store security officer and to police who came to the scene. The report said he told a security officer he was a U.S. marshal, and that he was looking for a drug dealer.
After being told to leave, he returned and was seen face-up in the lot, where he claimed both to be a marshal and to be a marshal in training, the report states. His demeanor was described as "lethargic and nonchalant, as if under the influence of a prescribed narcotic," the report states.
