Sisters sheriff's calls

• A former Sisters couple whose adventures in domestic dysfunction frequently appeared in "Sisters sheriff's calls" carried their feuding ways into Idaho.
  
  Sisters deputies were contacted by Benewah County, Idaho, deputies who explained that the female half of the duo had been left stranded after an argument with her ex-husband, with whom she was reconciling.
  
  She had no money and no way to get back to Oregon. Idaho deputies arranged a bus ticket home and sent a copy of a report on the domestic problem to Sisters for informational purposes.

• Someone hit a couple of houses with flaming bags of poop on the porch. There have been several such incidents in the past couple of weeks.
  
  
• A deputy arrested a Sisters man for drunk driving after witnessing him as he wove all over the road. The man managed a blood alcohol count of .26 percent, three times the legal limit.
  
  
• A woman who may have been ailing from diabetic problems, drifted across the center line and struck the left side of an oncoming vehicle.
  
  
• A driver rolled his truck on Green Ridge Road, but escaped uninjured.

• Some kids staying home alone reported a prowler. It turned out to be a landscaper winterizing the sprinklers.
  
  
• A deputy picked up a construction worker on an out-of-area warrant.
  
  
• An elderly woman reported that a man had been sacrificially burned next door and his body put in her home's crawl space. A deputy verified that this was, in fact, not true.
  
  
• A McMinnville man was arrested for drunk driving with a .14 percent BAC.
