Sisters Sheriff's calls

• A man was arrested for domestic harassment after he allegedly threw his wife in a creek during an argument. The man had reportedly been drinking.



• A pit bull repeatedly broke out of its yard, once cornering a local man on a residential street. The dog fled when a deputy attempted to capture it.



• There was a minor three-car accident on Cascade Avenue near Oak Street.



• A deputy investigated a strange anonymous call in which a woman claimed to have overheard people talking about beating someone and hearing someone calling for help. An area search turned up nothing.



• A deputy arrested a Sisters teen for shoplifting.



• A woman drove off from a Sisters parking lot with her wallet on the roof of her car. It's not there anymore.



• A deputy served a restraining order on a woman after more than a week of domestic squabbles, including a rousing verbal dispute over a dog. The woman declined her opportunity to get her things out of her husband's place with a deputy standing by.
  
  She said there was nothing there she wanted. Not even the dog.

• A woman visiting relatives in Sisters overdosed on pain medication. She was flown to St. Charles via Air Life, where she was reported in stable condition.
  
  It was unknown whether the overdose was intentional or accidental. The woman had been in considerable pain from surgery to remove her kneecap.

• A pickup truck and trailer burned to the hubs in the woods near Sisters, sparking a small forest fire that was quickly doused.
