Selected entries from the Teton Valley sheriff blotter follow.

10:16 A caller in Driggs reported that their Gmail account had been hacked and their airline miles stolen. A report was taken.

11:46 Two separate thefts were reported at a Driggs grocery store, both logged in the same minute. Reports were taken on each.

18:27 A driver from Salt Lake lost control of a car carrying two people and ended up in a ditch in Driggs. She was cited for failure to maintain responsible control, and warned for not reporting the wreck right away.

16:59 Search and rescue responded to a dirt-bike wreck in Horseshoe Canyon. A 44-year-old woman had shoulder and possible chest trauma. She was transported.

10:15 Someone in Victor had been posting inflammatory flyers on a public bulletin board, and the sheriff's office said they broke the city's sign rules.

21:10 Residents in Victor called about a man who had been sitting in an idling car next to a house for some time. Deputies found a 25-year-old Victor man asleep inside. The car was parked in an open field with no residence on it. He said he had arrived after leaving a store across the street. He consented to a field sobriety test and failed it. A search of the car found two bottles of tequila in the back seat, both half gone. They were not his, he said, and he had not been drinking. Several attempts at a breath test were unsuccessful. He consented to a blood draw, was arrested for DUI, and bonded out.

08:17 A caller in Tetonia reported that their son, who was from Texas, had been dropped off five and a half hours earlier and did not make it to his destination. He was eventually located.

23:42 A traffic stop for speeding in Driggs was logged as a suicidal-subject call. The driver said she was trying to get home in a car that was overheating. She declined medical assistance, and deputies followed her home. Anyone in crisis can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

12:44 Someone in Driggs reported a hit-and-run that had happened earlier in the week. A report was taken.

20:34 A caller in Victor reported a car dinged in a parking lot. Deputies said the damage was not significant enough to support a report.

08:30 A deputy found someone selling tamales out of a truck inside Victor city limits and gave a warning. Victor allows temporary vendors only on private property, twenty feet back from any road. Public streets and sidewalks are out. The same deputy located the truck again later, in Tetonia, and issued a citation for operating a business without a license.

23:35 A driver from Kentucky struck a bear near Driggs. The vehicle was towed. The sheriff's office was unable to provide information regarding the bear's whereabouts or well-being.
