Sisters Sheriff Calls

It’s such a small town in fact that the town’s weekly publication, The Nugget, publishes the Sheriff calls each week. I don’t mean to make light of other people’s situations, but having come from bigger cities, the Sisters Sheriff calls are the highlight of the paper for me each week. Especially if you’re from a big city, I think you’ll find it pretty entertaining.

Without further adieu, here are this week’s Sheriff calls as published in the Nugget:

• A 58-year-old Sisters man was arrested for violating a restraining order after he was found watching his ex-wife through binoculars to see if she was selling off his assets. The man scuffled with responding deputies.
• Deputies arrested a 28-year-old man for fourth degree assault and interfering with a 911 call after the man fought with his father.
• A bike was reported stolen.
• Deputies investigated an anonymous report of juveniles smoking marijuana, but were unable to locate the subjects.
• Deputies notified the owners of “for sale” vehicles that it is against city ordinances to display them for sale on the streets.
• A deputy looked into a report of possible mail theft. It was unfounded.
• A woman found a chestnut horse on Forest Service land across from her property. She took the horse in. It appears to be in good shape.
• Juveniles were reported riding dirt bikes on a posted private lane. A deputy discussed the matter with kids and parents, who were cooperative.
• Deputies responded to a request for a welfare check on an elderly man with a history of heart problems. He had not turned out his horses as usual. He was fine, but annoyed at being awakened.
• A deputy responded to a local home to put down a deer found injured in the yard.

Now that’s the kind of news I can live with! And again I don’t mean to poke fun, but you have to admit compared to most other places it’s pretty funny. I’ll continue posting them each week for your enjoyment.
