Major incidents — crashes, fires, rescues, and weapon/suicide events
-
Suicide attempt / juvenile with firearm — 1865 Frontage Road (approx. 08:40–09:00)
- RP reported a 15‑year‑old female having a breakdown and at one point possessing a firearm. Units (SO and ambulance/fire staging) responded code‑3/code‑2. Family restrained the juvenile initially; firearms were reported secured in a safe. Sheriff units reported "juvenile female detained" and transport to St. Mary’s for evaluation/paperwork. Case and follow‑up handled by SO (units 2680/2615 among others).
-
Single‑vehicle crash on I‑70 (MM 30) — westbound (approx. 09:35–09:45)
- White Subaru Crosstrek vs. guardrail. One passenger (36‑yo female) with head laceration (cut to temple). Truck/ambulance/Fire on scene; patient transported/treated.
-
Automatic crash notification — I‑70B mile marker 10 (reported ~19:02)
- Automatic crash notification dispatched; units and ambulance responded and attempted callbacks. Fire/EMS and SO searched the area; initial reports conflicted (units checked and either located a pedestrian/motorcycle user or were unable to find a crash). Multiple agencies responded to investigate.
-
Vehicle on fire near residence — 684‑26.5 Road (page ~08:08) and separate vehicle fire near house — 705‑29 Road (18:41–19:00)
- Early morning call: vehicle on fire in driveway within ~10 ft of house; fire units dispatched (TAC1 used). Later evening call: engine‑bay fire on a vehicle next to a residence; fire contained to engine compartment per Engine 2; vehicle left with owner. No structure fires reported.
-
Stranded boater / water rescue — Corn Lake (midday)
- Ranger and SO reported a male stranded on an island with a water‑locked boat. Fire/park units deployed inflatable kayak/boat; patient was conscious but cold/shivering; rescue completed (fire/park/EMS coordinated).
Significant police actions, weapons, arrests, and detentions
-
Erratic person on I‑70 / pedestrian on highway (mile 61–69 eastbound) (08:26–08:47)
- Multiple callers reported a man running in the interstate, kicking objects into traffic and yelling (possibly intoxicated). SO units responded, followed him off the interstate onto the frontage road and contacted the subject; no weapons observed.
-
DoorDash driver / harassment call → PD assist / arrest to PD front counter (early morning)
- Caller (DoorDash driver) reported meeting RP at 106 S. Bar Square and advised he had a pistol in his vehicle. That call linked to a separate harassment/arrest that came to the PD front counter; SO logged the assist.
-
Shoplifting / thefts / trespass arrests (several throughout day)
- Bicycle theft — 125 E 1st St Unit 5 (approx. 09:25): suspect identified as Ryan Warnick (46‑yo white male, shaved head) last seen westbound on 1st St; SO responded to follow up.
- Multiple shoplift/trespass calls at local Walmart/Rimrock and other retail locations with suspects detained or trespassed; several theft reports were forwarded for follow‑up.
-
Mental‑health / suicidal / altered mental status calls — multiple (throughout day)
- Repeated calls for suicidal or altered subjects (addresses and outcomes varied); SO, EMS and Fire staged/transported where needed. Example: reported suicidal male seeking firearms at a storage unit area (12:21–12:30) — SO staged and units responded.
Traffic / DUI / unusual vehicle reports
-
Multiple "possible DUI" / unsafe driving reports with attempts to locate and occasional positive identifications:
- West Otley / North Colson (15:19): report of burgundy Kia/Sorento all over road — located at a residence.
- Several I‑70 reports of semi‑truck driving badly; multiple motorist assists for trucks with mirror problems; traffic units logged truck/trailer plates and cleared when vehicles were able to pull over.
- Camper on I‑70 eastbound reported leaking sewage out the drain (15:37); driver stopped and units cleared — unusual roadside hazard that affected traffic.
-
Hit‑and‑run / minor traffic collisions (throughout day)
- Various non‑injury crashes were handled (parties often refused on‑scene reporting and were instructed to use online reporting). Example: two‑vehicle non‑injury crash at Loralee & B½ (Engine 4 / traffic units responded).
Unique / noteworthy items that may interest the public
-
Lost / missing child report — 4‑year‑old autistic child reported missing (approx. 15:41; Drumlin St.)
- Level‑2 autistic, nonverbal child reported missing from a backyard; SO units and helicopters/air units were mobilized for house/area checks and cleared when appropriate. (Public‑safety search/child‑safety response.)
-
Camper / RV with leaking sewage on I‑70 (approx. 15:37) — caused a traffic complaint and motorist assist.
-
Strange pistol display allegation on I‑70 (approx. 14:38–14:39)
- Callers reported a male in a black Audi or similar flashing a pistol and acting erratically toward an ERP; suspect vehicle exited at a MAC exit and was reported to State Patrol/PD. SO requested vehicle description be sent to State.
-
Multiple field/controlled burns and smoke checks — several callers reported agricultural/leaf burning (Corn Lake / C‑Charles & Half Road); Fire checked and either canceled or advised burns were attended and not a structure threat.
Fire/EMS notable transports and patient types
- Multiple elderly transfers and lift assists (St. Mary’s / DeVita / community transports) — routine ambulance transfers recorded through the day.
- Several code‑2/code‑3 EMS responses for overdoses, suspected OD/unresponsive subjects, suicidal ingestion (teen reported taking 15 Tylenol — units staged and medics responded), and traumatic/orthopedic injuries (ski/snowboard injury at Powderhorn).
Notes and caveats
- Transcriptions contained numerous garbled unit numbers, names, and some addresses; where a direct transcription was unclear the report uses the most likely interpretation of the call (e.g., “Frontage Road,” mile markers, and unit shorthand).
- Many calls were rapidly updated or canceled as responders obtained on‑scene information; the summary reports the initial nature, response, and any clear on‑scene outcome recorded in the traffic.
If you want, I can extract a chronological timeline (with timestamps and the responding units listed) for any of the incidents above (for example the 1865 Frontage Road juvenile weapons call, the Corn Lake water rescue, or the MM‑30 crash).
