A woman caught a man in her car with his hand in her purse. She called the police. A deputy informed her that, since the man was her husband, the incident was a civil matter.
Two horses were found walking up Highway 126 westbound -- destination unknown. The owner was contacted and deputies helped round up the wayward critters.
With the onset of spring weather, the dogs of Sisters have started to roam, which is, of course, against the rules.
Two Tollgate residents reported being chased and threatened by a Rottweiler in separate incidents. The Rottweiler is usually confined behind an invisible fence. The owner got a warning.
Deputies received a report of an emu at large, but were unable to track the bird down.
A deputy stood by while EMTs took a Sisters man to the hospital after he had ingested an unknown medication with an alcohol chaser.
A woman reported that someone took her purse -- containing cash, a pager, keys, etc. -- from her parked, but unlocked, car.
The front door to a Sisters business was found open, the "Open" sign was up, but no one was around. A deputy secured the business.
A store owner called to report that her estranged husband had stopped by to throw things around. Deputies contacted him and told him not to do that anymore.
An Illinois woman contacted the Sisters substation regarding her 25-year-old daughter's plans to move to Sisters to be with a fellow she met on the internet.
A deputy told her that, since the young lady is an adult, she can do whatever she wants, even if it seems like a bad idea.
The deputy did talk to the young woman and told her that leaving her home, family and social network to be with a man she does not know might not be a great idea.
