Sisters Sheriff's calls

• A citizen reported spotting a marijuana pipe in a vehicle at a gas station. Deputies passed the news along to Oregon State Police.

• A transient was taken to the hospital after a concerned citizen requested a check on her welfare. The woman had apparently attempted to cut her wrists.

• Deputies assisted fire fighters with a small blaze that was reported by two young Sisters men off Three Creek Road. The blaze was started by a camp fire that had not been properly extinguished.

• A man called the cops because his wife wouldn't hand over his wallet. She apparently didn't want him to go to Bend after a semi-pro football game in Sisters. She might have had some idea that he would use it.

• An unmanned car rolled across a gas station parking area and dinged another car.

• A man complained about receiving what he considers a slanderous letter. The letter was also apparently forwarded to the state contractor's board.

A deputy explained that his problem was civil in nature, even if the letter is not.

• A deputy told a Sisters youth to quit riding his skateboard on Village Green playground equipment and go home before curfew. At the stroke of midnight, his skateboard would have turned into a pumpkin...

• Too much water, never enough. Just a couple of weeks after residents along Squaw Creek noted that the water level seemed unusually low, a man contacted police concerned that the creek was going to flood his house.

A deputy advised him that the creek is not yet at flood stage.

• A deputy returned a runaway to the Bridges Academy east of Sisters.
