The Nugget Newspaper - News and Opinion from Sisters, Oregon

• Deputies arrested a 56-year-old Tollgate resident on multiple charges after he allegedly careened drunkenly around the subdivision in his car, occasionally stopping to accost pedestrians and pee on the road.

  Several Tollgate residents called in complaints about the driver. When deputies caught up with the man as he pulled into his driveway, he was allegedly highly uncooperative. The deputies hit the man with pepper spray and finally had to wrestle him to the ground and cuff him.

  The man was taken into custody on charges of drunk driving, driving while suspended, resisting arrest and interfering with an officer.

• A woman inquired about pressing charges against her husband for an incident in which she had been charged with assault for biting him. The woman had earlier been served with a restraining order.

• A woman reported that her 13-year-old son had walked away from Indian Ford Campground and hadn't been seen for 3-1/2 hours.

  Search and Rescue was activated, but before they hit the woods they got a call that the boy had turned up at his aunt's house in Salem after hitchhiking over the mountains.

• A man camped out south of town called 911 repeatedly about issues ranging from disputes to food poisoning. He eventually came out of the woods to Three Creek Road where medics checked him out and deputies gave their lecture (usually reserved for four year olds) about misusing 911.
