Sisters sheriff's calls

• A woman gave drive-thru fast food a whole new meaning. Her unoccupied car rolled into Sisters Subway last week. Deputies cited the woman.
  
• A deputy cited a man for allegedly going onto a woman's property and taking rocks. The woman did not want her rocks back, though.
  
• A deputy responded to a report of an injured deer in the roadway. A passing motorist dispatched the deer before the deputy's arrival.
  
• Someone called to report that an intoxicated man at the Sisters Overnight Park was trying to get someone to let him use a cell phone.
  
  A city worker helped the man, who agreed to stay in his camp and be a good boy that night.
  
• A caller reported that construction workers at a Sisters job site were shooting squirrels. A deputy checked the area and found no one shooting.
  
• A kid on a bike tangled with a car, but escaped with just a scrape. The driver and the boy's dad had everything worked out before a deputy responded.
  
• A woman reported her suspicions that some neighbor girls had egged her house.
  
• A caller reported a suspicious vehicle near Patterson Ranch. The caller thought he saw someone pointing a rifle out the window at the elk. A deputy was unable to locate the vehicle.
  
• Two teens were involved in a wreck on Lariat in Tollgate. The driver swerved into a large ponderosa pine. It didn't do the tree or the car any good, but the kids walked away.
  
• A man called the sheriff's office to have a deputy come out and break into his infant's bedroom after the baby got locked in the room.
  
  After getting a written okay to damage the door, the deputy used a screwdriver to punch a hole in the door big enough for him to reach in and unlock the door.
  
  The baby was returned to dad unharmed and all appeared to be well at the residence.
