Last week, Summit County Sheriff’s Deputies resolved a dispute about burnt brakes, helped a woman around a moose and cited vacation home renters for fire mismanagement.

The following incidents occurred between Monday, July 14, and Sunday, July 20, according to the weekly log of notable calls published by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. 

When someone reported seeing a man looking into the windows of parked cars Monday, deputies responded to the lot. The caller thought the man might be trying to break into vehicles and said the man stopped when he noticed the caller sitting in their car. A deputy found the man sitting in his vehicle, and the man said he had driven his wife’s car and forgotten where he parked it. The man said he was waiting for his wife’s appointment to finish, and the deputy found nothing criminal or suspicious.

Deputies found two illegal campsites Monday near the Dillon Reservoir. One had trash and food scattered around, an empty tent and no occupant present. Deputies already knew about the other and visited to speak with the camper, who they gave 24 hours to leave or face a federal citation. Deputies explained to the camper that camping is not permitted in the Dillon Reservoir Recreation Area and will follow up at the first campsite.

After his brakes caught fire and were extinguished, a semitruck driver refused to be towed Tuesday. The semitruck was at a runaway ramp, and a tow-truck driver told the semitruck driver he needed to be towed due to safety concerns with his brakes. Deputies responded, and the semitruck driver eventually allowed his truck to be towed to get needed repairs.

Deputies got a report of an illegal and unattended campfire that had not been completely extinguished Tuesday. The fire charred a 10-square-foot area in Lincoln Meadows. Deputies responded with the Red, White & Blue Fire Protection District, investigated and extinguished the fire. Deputies found no suspects in the area.

A moose blocked a trail Tuesday, preventing a woman returning to the trailhead. Not feeling safe enough to walk around the animal on her own, the woman called for help. Deputies hiked to her to assist, and the moose left without incident.

In unincorporated Breckenridge, deputies Wednesday responded to a burglary alarm. They found a plumber at the home who had been scheduled to do work there and did not find anything criminal.

During a Wednesday thunderstorm on the Dillon Reservoir, deputies helped three paddleboarders who were cold, wet and stranded on an island. Deputies took the three back to the shore near their vehicles.

Airbnb renters left a fire pit smoldering and unattended throughout the evening Wednesday. When deputies talked to them, they said they left the fire burning because the hose at the house couldn’t reach the fire pit. The fire department came and put out the fire, and deputies gave the renters a citation for leaving the fire unattended.

In unincorporated Breckenridge on Wednesday, a resident found a bat crawling on the floor of his bedroom. He caught it and contacted Summit County Public Health, and an animal control officer collected the animal and sent it to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment for rabies testing. The bat tested positive, according to a county news release, which stated the man, his wife and their dog have started post-exposure treatment.

A deputy Thursday told a man preparing to kiteboard on the Dillon Reservoir that local restrictions prohibited the activity on the lake. The deputy told the man kiteboarding is allowed on the Green Mountain Reservoir, and although the man left the Dillon Reservoir, he was not happy about having to go to Green Mountain.

Deputies responded Thursday to a call from a campground host north of Silverthorne who said a dog kept entering the campground and barking at campers. Multiple campers complained about the dog, and the site host could not contact the dog’s owner, who lives at a nearby ranch. An animal control officer got in contact with the owner and issued them a citation for not controlling their dog.

Two young men, one on a stand-up paddleboard and the other on a poorly inflated kayak, flagged down deputies patrolling the Dillon Reservoir on Friday. Neither were wearing personal flotation devices, and they had underestimated the wind and weather conditions. Deputies gave them a ride back to their campground, educated them on water safety and warned them for not having lifejackets.

Deputies Saturday responded to illegal campfires at two illegal dispersed campsites at Prospect Hill and another at a dispersed site near McCullough Gulch. Deputies made sure all fires were extinguished and gave the campers summons.

When a 2-year-old child locked himself inside a vehicle Sunday, his mother called for help. Deputies successfully unlocked the door and found nothing criminal or suspicious. The child was unharmed.

Deputies received several reports Sunday that people on a pontoon boat on the Green Mountain Reservoir had spelled “HELP” using logs on the shore. The message was visible from Colorado Highway 9. Employees from the Heeney Marina helped the boaters, who were stranded because their rental pontoon boat had broken down.
