Sisters sheriff's calls

Last updated Oct 14, 2003 12:0pm0

A man contacted the sheriff's office with a unique problem last weekend: He was to be married in half an hour and had forgotten to secure a marriage license.
The man wanted the deputy to contact a judge so the judge could give the officiating priest verbal approval. The deputy explained that that was not going to be possible. However, the deputy did note that the couple could go forward with the ceremony, then go before a judge this week and get it all made legal.
A deputy found a campfire smoldering unattended at Cold Springs Campground. The deputy doused the fire with water and tracked down the license plate number of the last vehicle camped at the spot.
A dog allegedly bit a child at a subdivision east of town.
