Sisters Sheriff's calls

• A driver reported that two dogs ran out in front of a tractor-trailer rig on the highway, causing the truck driver to lock up his brakes. The rig nearly jackknifed into the reporting driver's car, in which his whole family was traveling.

  The dogs were a black lab and a yellow dog of unknown breed. Deputies searched for the dogs (and, more to the point, their owners) but to no avail.

• A rodeo official found a suspicious device that looked like it could be an explosive on the rodeo grounds. It turned out to be a model rocket engine.

• A man reported being visited by a man claiming to be his neighbor. The man didn't believe the visitor and ordered him off his property.

A deputy asked around and it turns out the man was a neighbor. The reporting party still didn't believe it and doesn't want the neighbor (yes, that neighbor) coming around. So much for being neighborly.

• A resident reported scraping noises and activated motion sensors at his house. Deputies found no one, but the resident suspects a prowler.

• A Gresham woman wrecked her car by driving off the road while changing a CD. Gives rock & roll a whole new meaning.

• A woman called concerned that her husband might hurt himself over marital problems.

• Deputies cited a man after he was caught using electricity from a Sisters business to run his motor home. The man had switched plates on the motor home, illegal owl talons and a counterfeit $20. He's versatile.

• A Sisters man reported the theft of two tables valued at $600 left out for sale at a Hood Avenue address.
