  He allegedly blocked the truck and yelled at the driver to stop. The driver thought the property owner was "crazy" and tried to leave. The man allegedly reached through the driver's window, trying to grab the keys out of the ignition and cranking the steering wheel over. He also allegedly slapped at the driver and tried to punch him (but missed).

• A deputy encountered motorists stopped in the middle of a local roadway. They had been towing a disabled vehicle until part of the engine fell out on the road.

• A Sisters man was arrested on a warrant for harassment stemming from an incident on the ski slopes.

  The incident occurred when a snowboarder allegedly rode over the tails of the man's skis, nearly knocking him down. The snowboarder tumbled down the hill.

  The Sisters man allegedly skied down to the snowboarder -- a young woman -- and grabbed her, shaking her and yelling at her, calling her an idiot several times. Friends and family members of the girl intervened and one contacted the Ski Patrol, which contacted sheriff's deputies.

  The man later said he didn't know the snowboarder was a girl until her family (rather emphatically) said so.

  The Sisters man wasn't cited at the time, but the case was referred to the District Attorney's office and a warrant was issued.

• A deputy checked a remote house north of town on a report of a suspicious person in a suspicious vehicle. Nothing was turned up.

• A woman complained that a man continually speeds by her house.

  He even allegedly ran over a neighbor's dog and never stopped.

  When contacted, the man acknowledged that he has never got along with the reporting party. He said he didn't know he'd hit a dog. He promised to slow it down and try to be more neighborly.
