The latest:
A local bartender had been stealing money from a bar by charging the customer and not putting the money in the cash register and keeping the extra cash for herself. After the bar owner found out, the girl was fired at once, while she had slyly held on to the bar key. She then came in after hours and found more items she wanted to have for free. Well, that's not all for this little clepto. Apparently, she caught a man who visits Tybee frequently who already had a girlfriend. Needless to say she broke up the happy home. The man had blindly let the bar thief move in with him. The relationship ended quickly after he found out what she had done at one of his favorite drinking establishments. For her revenge, she stole his stereo, T.V. and any cash she could find. After she pawned all his belongings by using her bar card as an I.D., she called him from halfway across the state supposedly on her way to Chicago. Seeing as he had two little mouths to feed, he had to pawn a few items. She called the bar owner no more than a month after her termination, to make sure that her tax papers would be delivered to her Post Office Box on Tybee. A little strange if she was on her way to Chicago. We here on Tybee have words that describe people like her.
A woman from Atlanta (married with 2 kids) came down at her boyfriend's parents' request to pick him up (recently imprisoned). After picking him up, the couple went to a bar, where she began wild flirting with the bartender. Out of jealousy, the boyfriend took her keys and would not give them back. Then he pulled out a gun. The police were called. In the meantime a couple of guys in the bar were trying to hold the man down. The cops came in through every door. Unfortunately, one of the guys helping had an existing warrant, so along with the X-Con, he too went to jail. It was also noted that our local policeman did a great job. After the whole incident, the word is that the flirtatious mother, ( X-Con's girlfriend ) disappeared into the night with the bartender.
A man from St. Simons Island claimed that he was walking the pier, when another man standing alone said to him that he had a nice backside. The St. Simons man uttered that he beat the guy up and left him lying on the pier.
A local bike shop owner had found an old broken bike several years ago that was so damaged that it was beyond repair. Instead, the shop owner decided to use it for decoration in the show window by adding silly replacement parts. Recently a Tybee local walking past the bike shop told the shop owner that it was his bike hanging in the window and that he had filed a police report on that same bike. Needless to say, the shop owner pulled the decoration down and handed it to the guy, all the while laughing because the bike wasn't worth any money or the effort of arguing.
A local couple notorious for breaking up and getting back together time and time again, is believed to have finally severed the ties. Immediately after the separation, the girl immediately began to court another local man. One night when completely obliterated, she stood up before the bar customers and announced that herself and her new man were to be getting married. The very next day the wedding was called off.
