Mayor gives crime update, warns about phone scams and outlines community events
Summary
Mayor Brookline reported a recent non‑random shooting on Seaside, warned residents about phone scams, announced a deputy promotion and promoted several community events including a poetry open mic, a Feb. 6 town market and a 250‑tree giveaway.
Mayor Brookline reviewed recent public‑safety and community items for residents. On safety she noted "we had a shooting on Seaside a few weeks ago" but said it involved "two people that knew each other," indicating it was not a random shooter. She also relayed a cautionary message from the sheriff's office: "Sheriff's office will never call you for money, gift cards, anything like that," urging residents to be wary of phone scams.
Brookline announced that Deputy Chris King received a promotion and said Deputy Taryn Booth will attend future meetings. She promoted a series of upcoming events: an open‑mic poetry night led by newly appointed poet laureate Victor Crouch, a town market on Feb. 6 with vendors and music, and a drive‑through tree giveaway (250 trees) coordinated with the Charleston tree conservancy; registration and a QR code were noted as the sign‑up mechanism.
