Bingo hall brawl

Bingo rage attack almost causes geriatric stampede at local bingo game.

Letter to the Sun News :

This is my fourth and final visit to Myrtle Beach. The drivers here, people staying at hotels and bingo players are rude and inconsiderate. The bingo players laughed at me and talked about me behind my back because I didn't know how to play bingo their way. They think they own their places at the bingo hall because they are regulars.One man threw his garbage at me, told me not to sit in a certain spot and told me to sit in the smoking section. I told him I was allergic to smoke and tobacco and take allergy pills. He got mad and moved to another table. I reported him to the manager and she did nothing about the situation.

Bye bye, Myrtle Beach.D. M. Buffalo, N.Y.

What do you do with a broken mannequin?

Well if you’re Abrams Department Store in Conway you put’em in some snazzy clothes, top them with a busted up wig and display them in your store window.

After jumping into the freezing water he realized that he might not have thought his cunning escape plan out well enough. You know we would have all taken him for a genius had it worked.

Man flees into ocean, captured
By Kurt Knapek - The Sun News


A Myrtle Beach man who led police on a slow-speed chase Sunday night, surrendered soon after running into the Atlantic Ocean, according to Horry County Police Lt. Jay Brantly.
Shannon Lee Burak, 35, was driving a vehicle northbound on U.S. 17 Business around 11 p.m. when officers attempted to pull him over for erratic driving and a missing headlight, Brantly said.
Burak refused to stop, but speeds in the chase didn't exceed 40 miles per hour, Brantly said.
The suspect drove over stop sticks placed on the road by Myrtle Beach Police and flattened all four tires after he reached the city limits. Burak then turned on to Third Ave. North, Brantly said.
Burak threw several baggies into the water as he ran into the ocean, Brantly said. Police were able to recover one of the baggies, which contained a white powdery substance, Brantly said. The substance has not yet been tested, he added.
Burak then surrendered.
Burak is charged with failure to stop for a blue light, driving without lights and no driver's license. He is being held at J. Reuben Long Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing.

Myrtle Beach’s Red Light District

It’s hard to imagine a Myrtle Beach vacation that doesn’t revolve around tattoos and strippers, luckily for everybody Myrtle Beach's City Planners put all the elements together and parked them on a little stretch of road right between Target and the Wal-Mart. While traveling between the two last night in the heart of the red light district aka Seaboard Street I noticed some very positive changes. It’s nice to see that Centerfolds has its 2008 New Years resolution proudly posted. I’ve been told that the devil is in the details and it would appear that their marketing machine worked overtime on the Golf, Girls and Good times tagline as opposed to the not so popular 2007 motto of “After You Putt Putt Come See Some Butt Butt”.

I’ll bet that with this new tagline they’ll see their numbers go through the roof. This has Addy Award written all over it!

The coolest beach towel ever!!!!

To all of the people that have been looking high and low for the beach towel that incorporates antlers and the confederate flag I've found the answer to your prayers. All you need is this towel and a Corona themed bikini and you'll be a double threat to everyone else on the beach this season.

You need to get yourself down to the Red Hot Shop on Ocean Blvd. ASAP to get yours before they get gone. Kudos to all you fashionistas who get in on this deal before it sweeps the nation as the must have beach towel this summer. This would also be great to buy now and put away as a great Christmas gift for that person on your list who has everything.

The first all inclusive resort on the strand

It seems that the new trend in Myrtle Beach accommodations is to offer enough ammenites so that your guests never have to leave the hotel and with options like these why would you want or need to? The cable tv is just icing on the cake for the savvy tourist looking for all- in-one packages along the Strand and the Coral Sands is meeting their needs in superior fashion. According to a reliable source the "Don't Be Loud In A Crowd" sign was installed as a preventative measure to quiet the expected multitude of excited travelers from screaming "YES!!!!" at the top of their lungs when first seeing all the Coral Sands has to offer.

Getting Rowdy Down at the Noisy Oyster

I don't know what they are putting in those oysters but these people done up and went stark raving mad down at the Noisy Oyster. Somebody get this girl tested for rabies!

Police arrested a Myrtle Beach woman early Saturday morning after she allegedly bit off a piece of another woman’s ear in a fight.
Police stopped Maria Rodriguez as she drove away from the Noizy Oyster on South Kings Highway, where a fight occurred about 1:30 a.m. Police officers stopped Rodriguez and a passenger, and said they found 15.3 grams of cocaine in small bags in the glove compartment. They also said they seized more than $1,700 from Rodriguez’s purse. Officers said the passenger, Eric Dantzler, ran from the car before the officers found the cocaine, but had already left his ID with the officers.
Police said the fight inside the bar started because of a comment made about one woman’s boyfriend. Rodriguez allegedly punched a woman in the back of the head, ripped a large chunk of her hair out and bit off the upper part of her right ear.
The woman refused medical care at the bar, but a friend later took her to a local emergency room, police said.
Rodriguez is suspected of assault of a high and aggravated nature and cocaine trafficking. An arrest warrant for cocaine trafficking was issued for Dantzler as well.
