The Summit County Sheriff’s Office last week wrapped up an investigation into an accidental shooting involving two teenagers, assisted a man who was bitten by an off-leash dog and arrested an individual for driving under the influence.

The following incidents occurred between Monday, Nov. 11, and Sunday, Nov. 17, according to the weekly log of notable calls published by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.

On Monday, Nov. 11, a man reported that two off-leash dogs jumped on him at a trailhead in unincorporated Breckenridge. One grabbed his arm and pulled him down, biting his arm and breaking the skin. He then said the dog and owners took off to ski and didn’t exchange information with him. An animal control officer went to the trailhead, waited for the dog owners to return, took statements from them and issued a citation for failure to prevent a pet from becoming a hazard. The dog that bit the man was ordered to a 10-day confinement.

On Tuesday, Nov. 12, deputies received a report of a camper that had trash all around it in a popular dispersed camping area near the Green Mountain Reservoir. Deputies, who discovered the road was impassable with snow, did not find a camper but found marks in the snow indicating that several vehicles had gotten stuck there and had been pulled out.

On Wednesday, Nov. 13, a property manager in Wildernest reported an illegal camper who was sleeping in a car near the property he managed. Deputies contacted the camper, who was on private property, and advised him to move along. He left without incident.

In another incident Wednesday, a ski collision occurred on Copper Mountain when a man ran into two elderly women who had stopped on the run for a break. The Sheriff’s Office says one of the women hit the man across the chest with her ski pole in anger. A deputy issued her a summons for assault.

Also Wednesday, a man reported a dog that had been barking for most of the day at his neighbor’s house. Animal control contacted the dog owner and found out that his older dog had recently passed away and the other dog had been barking around the perimeter looking for his missing housemate. The owner was educated on some ways to mitigate the barking while the dog is mourning and the neighbors exchanged contact information so that they can communicate directly if the issue continues.

On Thursday, Nov. 14, a resident of unincorporated Silverthorne received a phone call from a man claiming to be a Summit County Sheriff’s Office commander. The scam caller told the man there were three warrants out for his arrest because he missed jury duty. The resident correctly suspected the call was fraudulent and hung up. No money or personal information was exchanged.

On Friday, Nov. 15, a middle school student put a razor blade in a piece of candy and gave it to another student who put it in their mouth and began chewing before spitting it out. The child who ate the candy was not injured. An investigation is ongoing.

On Saturday, Nov. 16, adult siblings in unincorporated Frisco got into a fight over family members and it grew physical. Nobody was seriously injured, and neither wanted to press charges. Deputies advised them to separate for the evening and cool off.

Also Saturday, a woman reported seeing a sign advertising the sale of iguanas and chickens and she was concerned about the welfare of the animals being sold. Deputies contacted the seller who explained that the chickens are being sold after being slaughtered and prepared for consumption. There are no iguanas for sale. It was determined that a translation error between English and Spanish caused the confusion.

In another incident Saturday, a truck driving on Dam Road swerved into the oncoming lane and hit an approaching vehicle. The driver of the truck appeared and acted intoxicated and was asked to complete roadside maneuvers, which he refused to do, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The driver was taken into St. Anthony Summit Hospital for a blood draw before being transferred to the Summit County jail. The driver of the other vehicle was transported to St. Anthony Summit Hospital as well for minor injuries sustained in the accident.

On Sunday, Nov. 17, a woman was illegally parked in the alley behind a bar in Copper Village and was asked to move her vehicle. When a woman moved the vehicle, she backed it into another vehicle, causing damage. Witnesses reported she was visibly intoxicated and went back to the bar after hitting the other vehicle. When deputies arrived, they contacted the woman who appeared to be intoxicated. She admitted to drinking alcohol prior to moving her vehicle. She refused to do voluntary roadside maneuvers and was arrested for driving under the influence.

Also of note, deputies over a month ago responded to a residence north of Silverthorne on a report of an accidental shooting involving two teenagers. While playing video games, a 15-year-old boy got bored, found a .22 caliber rifle, which was sitting out loaded, and started playing with it, thinking it was a BB gun. He accidentally discharged the weapon while it was pointed toward his friends who were nearby. The gunshot struck a 16-year-old boy with the bullet exiting through the back of his head. The 16-year-old was released from the hospital shortly after the incident and is expected to make a full recovery. The 15-year-old claimed he had gone through training prior to the incident and was devastated that he didn’t apply what he had learned, according to the Sheriff’s Office. An investigation into the incident ended this week. The 15-year-old is going through the juvenile filing process for prohibited use of a weapon and an associated adult has been issued a summons for not properly securing a firearm, as required under Colorado law.
