Teton Valley Sheriff Blotter 2026 Week 16

April 22, 2026

Teton Valley sheriff blotter for April 12–18: 281 dispatch calls, three DUI arrests, a loose horse on Highway 33, and a phone that dialed 911 on itself.

Two hundred and eighty-one calls came in to the Teton Valley sheriff blotter this week. A white horse spent part of Tuesday evening weaving through Highway 33 traffic north of Victor while the sheriff's office worked its way through five possible owners, none of whom owned the horse. The animal left the highway on its own; its fate is unknown.

Deputies made three DUI arrests, one of them an 82-year-old Driggs man with prior charges. They cited a hit-and-run suspect who turned out to still be at the scene, watched a civilian pull a Las Vegas visitor out of a Highway 33 ditch after he couldn't figure out how to engage his rental's 4-wheel drive, and took possession of an iPhone at a Tetonia intersection that had called 911 on itself.

Elsewhere: 89 traffic stops, 33 after-hours security checks, 38 permitted burns, a marijuana arrest, a warning about a text-message scam the sheriff's office would like to remind readers it does not send, four loose cows (one a repeat offender), and a reported rabid skunk.
