Last week, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office responded to a neighbor dispute involving dogs, trash and porches, went to a campsite without proper fire restriction signage and investigated reports of smoke near Breckenridge.

The following incidents occurred between Monday, Aug. 4, and Sunday, Aug. 10, according to the weekly log of notable calls published by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.

Recreational vehicle owners at Tiger Run reported Monday, Aug. 4, that a company that applied a clear sealant to the fence surrounding the lots they were renting had damaged their vehicles. Deputies did not think it was done maliciously, but workers had sprayed several RVs with the sealant. An investigation determined the issue was civil, not criminal, and deputies took a report.

Deputies on Monday, Aug. 4, discovered a transient camp off Dillon Dam Road near the Dillon Reservoir with a fire ring that was still warm. They disassembled the fire ring and cleaned up the area before finding a wooden structure surrounded by beer cans and trash along the shoreline. They dismantled that structure, cleaned up the trash, searched the area and did not find any more camps.

Throughout the week, deputies issued citations and warnings to people at the Dillon Reservoir for not having personal floatation devices. One group of paddleboarders without them struggled in the wind, and another group included a child with arm floaties but no life jacket. Deputies told the adults in that group about the importance of personal floatation devices and showed them where to rent them. Deputies found two paddleboarders sunbathing in the middle of Giberson Bay without lifejackets, who they escorted back to shore and issued citations. Deputies stepped several groups without lifejackets before they launched into the water, and while some bought the needed equipment, others chose to leave.

A woman dog-sitting Tuesday, Aug. 5, at a home in unincorporated Summit County reported someone had broken into the house. She thought she heard footsteps upstairs while she hid in the basement. Deputies arrived and cleared the residence without finding anyone inside. All exterior doors, except one the woman had left open, were secure, and nothing seemed out of place. Deputies found no suspicious or criminal activity.

Deputies Tuesday, Aug. 5, responded to an ongoing dispute between neighbors about trash, barking dogs and harassment. One claimed the other’s trash was blowing in her yard, believing it was a deliberate act to retaliate against her dogs barking. Deputies found no trash, and the other neighbor denied intentionally littering in the woman’s yard. On Friday, the resident reported feeling harassed again because her neighbor had gone outside while she was on her deck with her dogs, causing them to bark. She also complained about her neighbors gathering on their deck and talking because she could hear it through her open windows. Deputies explained that her neighbors gave the right to use their deck and be outside while she is also outside.

On Wednesday, Aug. 6, deputies received a call about a motor vehicle accident near Boreas Pass Road. They arrived and found an unoccupied vehicle off the road, located a man farther down the road, determined he was the owner of the vehicle and decided he was intoxicated. Deputies arrested the man and took him to jail on charges including DUI, leaving the scene of an accident and careless driving.

Deputies got a report Wednesday, Aug. 6, about a campfire near a trail in the Summit Cove area that had not been put out properly. They did not find anyone near the smoldering fire and made sure it was fully extinguished.

During a Thursday, Aug. 7, traffic stop for expired license plate tags, deputies ran the driver through their database system and found out he was restrained from his passenger in a civil protection order. Deputies arrested the driver and took him to jail without incident.

A year ago, a resident of unincorporated Breckenridge paid a $600 materials deposit to an online contractor, and despite their assurances the work would be completed, the resident told deputies on Thursday, Aug. 7, it has not. The contractor is refusing to refund the deposit and has not returned calls from deputies. The case is under investigation.

A driver Friday, Aug. 8, reported a vehicle behaving recklessly on Swan Mountain Road. They saw the driver speeding and swerving onto the shoulder to avoid cyclists in a crosswalk, nearly hitting them and driving into a lane of oncoming traffic. A nearby deputy located and stopped the vehicle, which emitted a “strong odor” of marijuana. The driver passed roadside drug testing and was cited for reckless driving and open container.

Multiple people called authorities to report heavy smoke around Bald Mountain in Breckenridge on Saturday, Aug. 9. Deputies searched the area for smoke with the Breckenridge Police Department and the Red, White & Blue Fire Protection District. They found no plumes of smoke and determined the smoke was coming from fires elsewhere in the state.

On Friday, Aug. 8, and Saturday, Aug. 9, after Summit County entered Stage 2 fire restrictions, deputies found multiple campfires at campgrounds around the Green Mountain Reservoir. The restrictions prohibit campfires, even in designated campgrounds, but deputies found that the U.S. Forest Service had not put the proper signage at the campsites and camp hosts were selling firewood to campers. Deputies issued warnings to all campsites with fires and worked with the Forest Service and camp hosts to enhance signage and tape off fire rings.

A resident of unincorporated Breckenridge reported a group of RVs Sunday, Aug. 10, that had a campfire in violation of the Stage 2 fire restrictions. Deputies spoke with the campers, who claimed they were unaware of the restrictions. Deputies issued them a citation and made sure the fire was fully extinguished.

A woman reported a man lingering around the parking lot of a popular trailhead and thought he seemed suspicious. He had asked her several questions and made her feel uncomfortable, although he did not make inappropriate comments or threats. Deputies went to the scene, but the man left before they arrived. They found no criminal activity, but the investigation is ongoing.
