Sheriff’s Blotter

October 30, 2024


Monday, October 21

00:29 - “Strange screaming noise” reported around Loganville Campground near sites where no one was camping. I was thinking Big Foot. Camp hosts are leaning towards mountain lion.

10:00 - Property found in Sierra City.

13:04 - Forest Service responding to fire report in Long Valley.

13:46 - Welfare check requested in Calpine.

14:15 - Deputy signs off on a fix-it ticket in Downieville.

14:40 - Disgruntled dogs barking on Commercial Street in Downieville are once again causing equal irritation to all those in earshot.

15:08 - Civil service requested in Downieville.

17:07 - Property found in Downieville.

17:25 - Ten points if you can guess where dogs are barking again in Downieville! You guessed it...Commercial Street! What are the ten points worth? Haven’t the faintest. But you’ve got ten points! And Downievillians can now get some shuteye because the dogs have been relocated!

18:18 - Property lost in Downieville.

19:01 - Ambulance requested in Loyalton. Almost made it through the day without an ambulance call. Almost.

20:34 - Deputy met with Verdi folks who reported they believe “someone came into their residence while they were gone for the weekend.” Brings to mind the eight hours spent over the weekend binge-watching Escape at Dannemora directed by Ben Stiller on Netflix. If you’ve watched it, you’d understand the correlation of the series to the entry. Found a fascinating article on vulture.com: “How Escape at Dannemora’s Actors Compare to Their Real-life Counterparts.” Series is graphic at times. Not appropriate for young, impressionable minds.

Again, not surprised to read, “No crime has been committed.” I’m smiling because now that I have sat in the courtroom for one hearing on this matter- a matter postponed till November, knowing who the judge is in this case, I cannot wait to hear remarks from the bench about this nonsense!

17:00 - Calpine caller provided suggestions for getting a cat down from a tree.

17:45 - Loyaltonian assisted with filing a restraining order.

18:26 - Elderly female reunited with family after strolling off southbound Highway 49 near Loganville. En route searching the area, Sierra City Fire found her engaged in discussions with the UPS driver. Indeed, our UPS drivers are extremely amiable; couldn’t imagine life without their deliveries- especially books! Hubby joked the other day, “We wouldn’t be so poor if you didn’t spend $10,000 on books.” I said “uh huh” and clicked on another purchase!
