Last week, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office investigated suspected human remains, looked for an egg-throwing vandal and responded to reports of lights on mountains at night.

The following incidents occurred between Monday, Sept. 22, and Sunday, Sept. 28, according to the weekly log of notable calls published by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.

A caller requested a welfare check Sept. 22 on a friend they had not seen in years. They were concerned for the friend’s safety, and they said her husband had wanted her “gone” and knew someone who “might carry out his wishes.” Deputies spoke with the caller at length and reached out to others who knew the friend. Deputies contacted the friend, and she said she was okay and not concerned for her safety.

A Breckenridge man fell victim to a scam where a caller identified themselves as a bank employee and had him verify a fraudulent transaction Sept. 24. The caller transferred him to a different line to speak with someone who claimed to be an FBI agent, and the man gave that person some personal information before realizing the call was a scam. Deputies told the man how to report the fraud to the federal government and secure his credit accounts.

Deputies received a third-hand report Sept. 24 that kids were using a golf club to hit rocks at vehicles in unincorporated Breckenridge. When they arrived on scene, the kids had left. No drivers reported damage to their vehicles.

A report Sept. 25 informed deputies a man had fallen asleep behind the wheel of a running truck in the middle of the road in unincorporated Breckenridge. When they responded, deputies found the truck running but pulled to the side of the road. The driver was sleeping, and deputies spoke to him and did not suspect he was intoxicated. They gave him a courtesy ride home, secured his vehicle and left it on the side of the road. Deputies found no criminal activity.

Wildernest residents were sitting in their home Sept. 26 when they heard a loud bang and saw a goopy substance on their window. Deputies responded and found egg on the window, but when they searched the area, they did not find other victims or any suspects.

Deputies and Summit County Rescue Group members responded to a man on Quandary Peak who fell and broke his arm Sept. 26. The man walked with the responders at first, but eventually he needed to be carried to the trailhead. Responders took him to the hospital for treatment.

A Dillon man exchanged private images with a person he met online. The person threatened to send the pictures to the man’s wife if he did not send them money, and after the man sent $500 in bitcoin, the person demanded more money. Deputies found no information on the suspect and told the man Sept. 26 he would likely not recover his money.

The Summit County 911 Center received a report Sept. 26 of a road rage incident on Interstate 70 that involved a reckless driver and a passenger who allegedly flashed a handgun at the caller. Deputies responded with officers from the Frisco and Dillon police departments, initiated a traffic stop of the suspect vehicle and removed all its occupants. They questioned the three young men in the car and searched the vehicle for a handgun. The men claimed the other vehicle was driving recklessly and denied having a gun. Law enforcement did not find a gun in the car and issued warnings for road rage to all parties involved, educating them on the risks of driving recklessly.

Deputies received reports of lights on the mountains at night Sept. 26-27 from callers who were concerned hikers might be stuck or in distress. The first night’s call was about Buffalo Mountain near Wildernest. Deputies saw the lights, which appeared to be headlamps, and did not initiate a search because they were actively moving down the mountain. The second night, a caller reported lights on Mount Royal. Deputies observed the lights but saw no signs of distress.

A caller requested a welfare check Sept. 28 for a camper who was lying under a tarp and emergency blanket, with only their boots sticking out, and was unresponsive to people shouting at them. Deputies found the camper, who seemed disoriented but was alive and had been sleeping. They gave him a warning for camping in an area of the Dillon Reservoir Recreation Area where camping is prohibited, and they asked him to leave by sunset.

A Wildernest resident thought he found a hypodermic needle, possibly used for drugs, near a fire pit in the open space behind his home. He showed it to a deputy at the location, which had moose tracks nearby. After investigation, officials determined it was a tranquillizer dart accidentally left behind by Colorado Parks and Wildlife when the department tried to free a moose entangled in chains and a tarp. Deputies collected and disposed of the dart in a sharps container and found nothing criminal.

During a search and rescue training Sept. 28 in Officers Gulch, a search team found what they believed to be bones from a human foot. Deputies and the coroner hiked to the scene, and the bones were determined to be from a coyote.
