Last week, Summit County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a small wildfire, a man suspected of defecating in a parking lot and an off-leash dog that killed a cat.

The following incidents occurred between Monday, May 19, and Sunday, May 25, according to the weekly log of notable calls published by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.

A property manager Monday, May 19, reported a person allegedly living and defecating in a condominium parking lot. Deputies talked to the person, who confirmed he resides in the building and often sits in his vehicle to make phone calls. Deputies found no evidence of defecation or other criminal activity.

Also Monday, deputies and the Summit County Rescue Group responded to a report that the bicycle of a missing person was found near the North Ten Mile Creek trailhead. They found the man, Michael Joseph Sanchez of Frisco, deceased at the base of a cliff and executed a coordinated recovery operation the next day, safely recovering the body. Deputies turned Sanchez’s body over to the Summit County Coroner’s Office to determine the cause and manner of death.

A Summit County resident reported receiving a phone call Tuesday, May 20, claiming he had missed jury duty. The man recognized the call as a scam and hung up without providing any personal information or money.

Also Tuesday, a man reported that his partner took their child to Nicaragua without his permission. Deputies investigated and determined that the partner had not left the country, the child was safe and no crime had occurred. Deputies told the man about the child’s well-being and advised him of his option to pursue custody matters through civil court.

A man searching the Officer’s Gulch area for a missing person Tuesday told deputies his dog had a strong interest in a nearby beaver dam. Deputies told him the area had been searched thoroughly by an organized team the week before, but they searched again as a precaution and found nothing of note.

Deputies stopped a woman for speeding Wednesday, May 21, on Colorado Highway 9 near Tiger Road, and due to suspicious activity, had K9 Minka conduct a vehicle search.

Deputies responded Friday, May 23, to reports of a man making multiple attempts to enter an unoccupied condominium in the Copper Mountain area. A Copper Mountain security worker reported seeing someone matching the suspect’s description, and deputies located the man and established probable cause for his arrest. Further investigation connected him to a nearby burglary where he had allegedly unlawfully entered and lived in an unoccupied condominium.
