Greenwood’s Saturday Surprise: Local Woman Arrested for Public Drunkenness on Highway 72 Bypass

Greenwood Experiences an Unusual Morning Incident

The quaint town of Greenwood woke up to an odd incident early this morning, as we saw something that you don’t quite expect on your typical Saturday. As clouds danced along with the sun in a warm 78°F sky, local police got busy in what started as a simple welfare check on the Highway 72 Bypass. So, let’s unravel what went down, shall we?

Picture this: It’s a lovely warm morning, and folks are probably just getting into their weekend groove. But, on Highway 72 Bypass, Shana Flores, a 49-year-old resident of Conway, made quite the unintended splash. Around 12:21 a.m., local heroes—our police officers—got a call about a woman in need of assistance. You know how it is, the streets can be a bit eerie at that hour.

Callers painted quite the picture of a woman who seemed heavily intoxicated, losing bits of her attire as she went along. When officers arrived at the scene, they found Ms. Flores taking quite the walk outside Mavis Tires & Brakes. The lady was in a rather peculiar outfit of black leggings and a purple bra, with parts of her breast visible. It’s safe to say her fashion statement became second only to the wafts of alcohol the officers picked up on.

As the story goes, Ms. Flores admitted to tipping back a few drinks but seemed not quite lucid enough to remember just how many. We’ve all been there, right? Where the number becomes a blur! Chief T.J. Chaudoin, later in the afternoon, shared that Shana was charged with public drunkenness, a move that likely cuts short her unexpected night out. She was whisked away to the Greenwood County Detention Center to perhaps sober up and contemplate a more conventional weekend.

This isn’t your average weekend crime scene drama for sure. But hey, life in Greenwood just got a tad more interesting today, and it’s these small-town tales that keep us on our toes. With mostly cloudy skies promising a partly cloudy reprieve overnight and cooler temperatures dipping to 57°F, we hope our nightlife shenanigans are safely tucked in under layers and warmth.

Weather Updates and Your Weekend Plans

So, what’s on the cards for the rest of the day? The weather folks are predicting that the sun will peep through clouds, making it pleasantly warm and inviting. Sounds like the perfect excuse to soak up some rays, enjoy a warm beverage, or maybe spend some quality time with your nearest and dearest.

Even as the clouds reclaim some of the sky tonight, they’re set to give way partially after midnight. So, if the stars fancy making an appearance, we might be in for a treat. The winds remain whisper-soft and light, giving us another mild evening to look forward to.

Stay Safe, Stay Informed

While the happenings of one Shana Flores add a dash of flair to our weekend gossip, let’s remember the importance of staying safe, especially when hitting the town. As we marvel at these quirky tales, remember to share your stories too, because perhaps, there’s more that unfolds behind the small-town scenes.

Stay tuned, folks, for more tales from Greenwood, where life never ceases to amaze. And about those clouds? They remind us that every day can throw a curveball or two—and sometimes a splash of humor too.
