Sisters Sheriff's calls

• A hiker was bitten by another hiker's dog. The dog, whose name is "Rush," is not known to have a political affiliation, was not frothing at the mouth and is not suspected of being rabid. The victim's political orientation was not released.

• A 12-year-old boy shot up a residence and a vehicle with a BB gun while the resident was on vacation. Since he's "like a son" to the victims, they declined to seek prosecution.

• A pedestrian walking through Sisters found and removed several pornographic images that had been affixed to Sisters businesses.

• A party got out of control and a Sisters area residence got trashed.

• A Sisters teen reported marijuana in her dad's car. Dad gave permission to search and a deputy found half a joint, which dad said wasn't his (though he acknowledged indulging in the weed on occasion).

The possibility was raised that the report could be the result of the girl's pique at her dad for accusing her of stealing money from his business.

The deputy took the marijuana to be destroyed.

• A Forest Service law enforcement officer found a "bomblet" made from black powder wrapped in duct tape. The bomb did not detonate, as the fuse burned out.
