Sisters Sheriff's calls

Failed to execute CGI : Win32 Error Code = 3

  • A deputy stopped two teens for a traffic violation -- one was letting the other, who was "unqualified" to drive, take the wheel.

    During the traffic stop, the deputy also found less than an ounce of marijuana in the possession of one of the teens. The teen was cited.

  • A deputy contacted and warned a driver after receiving a citizen complaint about the driver making bad passes on Highway 20.
  • Students at Sisters High School overheard and reported some threatening remarks. The school resource deputy took one girl into custody in connection with the remarks.

    The incident, combined with a heavy police presence due to a scheduled Safe Schools Alliance safety survey, led to jangled nerves in the community.

  • A Sisters man got drunk and fired off his hunting rifle in back of his house inside the city limits. That is a
    no-no.

    The rifleman did not appear to have a specific target. The moon was unhit.

    The man got arrested. Nobody got hurt.

  • A Sisters resident complained about her dog being attacked by her neighbor's "vicious" dog.

    Deputies noted, however, that the victim was "at large" and in the alleged perpetrator's yard.

    The perps are confined behind an invisible fence. The victim was not.

Information is taken from log entries and reports of the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office.
