The Summit County Sheriff’s Office last week responded to two reports of intoxicated drivers, two search-and-rescue missions at Quandary Peak and a road rage incident that resulted in a hit-and-run crash.

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

On Monday, April 14, deputies responded to the water treatment plant at Farmer’s Korner due to a dispute at the RV pump station. One man reported being harassed and yelled at by another man who felt he was taking too long at the pumps. An investigation revealed that the argument had only been verbal and no crimes had been committed.

Also Monday, deputies contacted a man who got stuck in the snow on a seasonally closed road in the Tiger Road area. It was discovered that the same man had gotten stuck in the same location last year and that the road was closed at the time. Deputies assisted in pulling the man and his vehicle out and issued him a citation for being on a closed road.

On Tuesday, April 15, deputies responded to a report of a suspicious man going door to door in unincorporated Breckenridge to discover that the person was a small business owner distributing flyers for his cleaning service. Nothing criminal was found.

On Wednesday, April 16, two different callers reported a dog running loose on Summit Drive in Summit Cove. Summit County Animal Control officers recognized the 6-month-old puppy since she had previously escaped from her yard. They called the owner, who said she was aware that her dog was on the loose and was out looking for her. The officers caught the dog, brought her back to her owner’s home and issued the owner a citation for failing to control her pet. They also provided the owner with resources and suggestions to help prevent the dog from escaping in the future.

Also Wednesday, a road rage incident on U.S. Highway 6 escalated into a hit-and-run crash when the driver of a van illegally used the right turn lane to pass an SUV, cutting off the SUV and forcing its driver to slam on the brakes. The SUV driver then pulled up next to the van at a stoplight and hit the van’s window with the end of a crutch before driving away. The van followed the SUV, tailgating and swerving behind it as both vehicles turned onto Swan Mountain Road. They then reversed direction and returned to U.S. Highway 6, where the SUV got behind the van and continued to tailgate closely. The SUV attempted to swerve into the median but ultimately collided with the van’s bumper. After the impact, the SUV driver illegally turned around on the highway and drove off in the opposite direction. Following an investigation, the driver of the SUV was issued a summons for reckless driving.

The Sheriff’s Office also assisted with two search-and-rescue missions on Quandary Peak, a Colorado 14er, on Wednesday. In both instances, hikers called for help after post-holing, or sinking into the snow to the point where it becomes difficult to move, in soft, deep snow. One lost a shoe. Both were separately located and assisted back to the trailhead. No injuries were reported.

On Thursday, a man in Keystone reported that his snowboard had been stolen after he left it in the hallway at his apartment complex. Deputies investigated and found that a neighbor had taken it inside to prevent it from being stolen since it had been left out. It was returned to the man.

In another incident Thursday, deputies received a report of a vehicle emergency alert from SiriusXM. The Sirius representative was able to contact the driver of the vehicle to confirm if they needed help or not. They could only provide a vehicle description and VIN number but no information about the vehicle owner’s identity or home address. A potential latitude and longitude were provided, eventually leading deputies to find the vehicle, which was parked and unoccupied. Deputies were able to find the driver, who said he did not need assistance and was unaware he had accidentally pressed the emergency alert button in the car.

On Friday, April 18, deputies received a report from a concerned caller who observed blinking lights on Peak 8 in Breckenridge. The caller was worried the lights were an SOS signal from someone in need of assistance, but it was determined that the lights were from a snowcat grooming the trails.

On Saturday, April 19, deputies responded to Copper Mountain after an intoxicated woman drove her SUV into a stop sign. She attempted to leave the scene but had gotten a flat tire in the incident. Deputies provided traffic control until the Colorado State Patrol arrived to take the incident report and arrested her for driving under the influence.

Also Saturday, Animal Control officers responded to help the Blue River Police Department with a dog that was loose after being involved in a car accident. Witnesses reported seeing the dog get ejected from the vehicle and then losing sight of him. Officers searched the area but were unable to find the dog. Several hours later, Summit Lost Pet Rescue — a volunteer pet rescue group — set up a scent station near the accident site and successfully located the dog, reuniting it with its owner.

On Sunday, April 20, deputies were alerted to a truck whose driver had hit a sedan while backing out of a parking spot at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. The driver then collided with an SUV when he pulled forward before driving away and heading west on U.S. Highway 6’s Loveland Pass. Deputies caught up with the truck and observed the driver parking at a residence at Keystone. The driver said he was unaware of having hit any vehicles and claimed he had one beer before driving. However, deputies smelled alcohol on him and observed slurred speech and an unsteady gait, according to the Sheriff’s Office. He did not satisfactorily complete roadside sobriety tests and his blood alcohol content was measured to be more than twice the legal limit. He was arrested and taken to the Summit County jail on several charges, including driving under the influence, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
