Sisters Sheriff's calls

Failed to execute CGI : Win32 Error Code = 3

• Three Sisters businesses were hit by burglaries on July 10. In each case, a door was pried open. In two cases, small amounts of accessible cash were taken. Deputies are investigating.

• A deputy stopped to help a stranded motorist. The man had an outstanding drunk driving warrant out of Prineville, so he wound up in the slammer.
  
  
• A man complained that another driver made a "gun" with his fingers and pointed it at him in traffic. The other driver denied it. He said the first driver was tailgating and attempting to make a dangerous pass.

He allowed as how he had shook his finger at the man. He didn't specify which finger.

• A woman reported that her camera was stolen from her motel room.
  
  
• A Sisters man overdosed on sleeping pills in an unsuccessful suicide attempt. He was transported to the hospital.
  
  
• A woman was most peeved at the sheriff's office for not taking care of her problem with stray cattle.

The bovines are drifting across her property, and she's worried about her nursery. Deputies explained open range laws, which the lady finds unacceptable. She threatened to take her shotgun to the cows.

She was last seen screaming at the cattle and chasing them toward Dry Canyon.

• A woman was bitten by a loose dog on Three Creek Road.
  
  
• A dog had to be put down after it was hit by a car on Highway 20. The driver never stopped.
  
  
• An Akita attacked another dog that was taking its person for a walk in Sisters. The owner of the Akita was cited.
  
  
• Deputies investigating a separate theft complaint located several hanging baskets that appeared to be ones stolen from Sisters businesses recently.

The resident of the home where they were found averred that "they just showed up on her deck." She had no idea --none -- where they came from.

A deputy was to contact the property owners to see if they wished to pursue theft complaints.
