Sisters Sheriff's calls

• A Bend woman was arrested after she followed deputies who picked up a friend on an unrelated charge. She was concerned about her friend and curious about his fate.

  A deputy contacted her because he knew she had a suspended driver's license and a previous arrest for drug possession.

  The woman allowed the deputy to look in her car and he allegedly found a vial with white powder in her open purse.

  The woman allegedly acknowledged that the vial contained methamphetamine, though she said she was not using.

  The woman went to jail and her car was impounded.

• Two Sisters residents were arrested for assault after a series of apparently drunken altercations. A man's girlfriend allegedly cut him by hitting him in the face with a coffee cup.

  When he went to a friend's house for bandages, he got into an argument with the friend and wrestled a phone away from her as she tried to dial out. The man broke the phone, too.

  Then he went back home and passed out until the cops came.
