Sisters sheriff's calls

• A Sisters couple reported the theft of a Smith & Wesson Model 669 9mm pistol from their home.
  
  The suspect was later involved in a police pursuit in Bend after he allegedly used the pistol in an assault. The suspect suffered a broken leg in the pursuit. The pistol was not recovered.

• Somebody played a Halloween "trick" four days early, leaving a "treat" -- a flaming bag of dog poop -- on somebody's porch, then fleeing the scene. That really stinks.
  
• A deputy contacted a subject in a store who reportedly had been driving under the influence. The man admitted to being under the influence of prescription medication.
  
  He allowed a deputy to take his keys and drive him home, thus avoiding a DUII rap.

• A deputy contacted two men who were arguing at a gas station. Apparently, the men are embroiled in an ongoing civil matter that is growing increasingly less civil.



• A deputy contacted a transient who was jumping in and out of highway traffic trying to stop somebody to give him a ride.



• A trucker lost some bags of cement at the Highway 20/242 interchange. He and Oregon Department of Transportation personnel cleaned up the mess.

Information in "Sisters sheriff's calls" is taken from log entries and reports of the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office.
