Sisters Sheriff's calls

• A man reported several items stolen from his vehicle -- which was left along Highway 20 while he was taken to jail on a warrant arrest.

• A woman reported an unknown animal under her deck, growling at her. It turned out to be a mama raccoon with babies. The woman resolved to wait till the new family moves out and then block access.
  
  
• A deputy located a missing Alzheimer's patient who had left her house and walked to the residence of her brother-in-law.
  
  
• A resident complained about constant drumming by his neighbor. The aspiring Gene Krupa agreed to knock off for the day.
  
  
• Deputies found an escaped puppy and returned it to its owner (awww....).
  
  
• A man was reportedly making lewd gestures at passing motorists, but he had moved on to other amusements before police could contact him.
  
  
• A deputy responded to a report of a cow on the roadway, but when he arrived, the bovine fled. Perhaps there was a warrant?
  
  
• A man reported his Glock 27 pistol stolen from his vehicle.
  
  
• A woman reported several items stolen from her home while she was away.
  
  
• A 20-year-old woman ran off after breaking things in an argument with her parents. A deputy located the woman, who is known to suffer from manic-depressive illness, and talked her into letting her parents take her to the hospital for observation.
  
  
• A deputy had to dispatch an injured deer on Camp Polk Road (see related story).
  
  
• A dog reportedly slaughtered 10 of his neighbor's chickens.
  
  
• A woman lost her purse, which she believed fell off the trunk of her car. Someone found it and turned it in, with no items missing.
