  • Somebody played a Halloween "trick" four days early, leaving a "treat" -- a flaming bag of dog poop -- on somebody's porch, then fleeing the scene. That really stinks.

  • A deputy contacted a subject in a store who reportedly had been driving under the influence. The man admitted to being under the influence of prescription medication.

    He allowed a deputy to take his keys and drive him home, thus avoiding a DUII rap.

  • A deputy contacted two men who were arguing at a gas station. Apparently, the men are embroiled in an ongoing civil matter that is growing increasingly less civil.
  • A deputy contacted a transient who was jumping in and out of highway traffic trying to stop somebody to give him a ride.
