The Summit County Sheriff’s Office remained busy last week assisting with Election Day security, searching the backcountry for an overdue hunter and dealing with children trespassing at a hot tub.

The following incidents occurred between Tuesday, Nov. 5, and Saturday, Nov. 9, according to the weekly log of notable calls published by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.

On Tuesday, Nov. 5, a resident in Summit Cove contacted animal control for help with an unknown animal that was stuck in the chimney. Animal control found two birds in the fireplace, one which was dead and one which was alive and released back into the wild.

Tuesday was also Election Day. The Summit County Sheriff’s Office Detention Services Division was responsible for the safety of county staff and facilities throughout the election and dedicated several staff members to that purpose. Deputies patrolled around the polling locations for weeks leading up to Election Day. On Election Day, a team provided security for election judges and the county clerk and recorder staff until about 2:30 a.m., when all election processes were completed.

Also Tuesday, deputies were called to the senior center in Frisco for a disturbance caused by a voter who was upset that voting was being done on electronic tablets. He was given the option to vote on a paper ballot, which he did. The voter was given information on how to file an official complaint with the clerk and recorder and he left before deputies arrived on scene. No crime occurred.

On Wednesday, Nov. 6, the Sheriff’s Office says a Denver man threatened to come to the Summit High School with a gun and a bomb after he was denied access to tour the facility. The man was reportedly a previous student of the school and had requested to tour the school multiple times for an unknown reason. Due to the threat, the high school was placed on secure status for much of the day with deputies stationed at the entrances. Law enforcement received information that led them to believe the man was not in Summit County but was instead in Adams County. Law enforcement arrested the man in Adams County and he was booked into the Summit County jail without incident.

On Thursday, Nov. 7, a juvenile at a condo in Keystone reported an unknown man had grabbed him because he had been standing on a table, making the child uncomfortable. Deputies responded and found that the juvenile and his friends were trespassing in a hot tub area, had been playing around and had jumped on a coffee table. The man told them to get down and the children reportedly yelled expletives and told him to “make me,” leading to the man pulling him off the table. Deputies spoke with the juvenile and his parents and confirmed they did not want to press charges. The business manager also did not want to press charges for trespassing. The juvenile and his friends left after being told to leave.

On Saturday, Nov. 9, a wife reported that her husband was overdue from a hunting trip in the Ute Pass area. Deputies responded to where the hunters were supposed to be, deployed a drone and followed a thermal track until they located the hunters. Around the same time the hunters were found, the wife called back to inform deputies that her husband contacted her to advise her that he was OK.
