Selected entries from the Teton Valley sheriff blotter follow.

00:25 A driver parked at an intersection in Driggs had stopped to look at a check engine light. A deputy speaking with him smelled marijuana. He denied having any. Perhaps, he suggested, it was cigar smoke the deputy was smelling. The deputy seized items from a black bag on the passenger seat. The driver, a 24-year-old man from Jackson, Wyoming, was cited for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. The marijuana, he said, was legal.

11:51 Several real estate agents contacted a Florida resident about a lot for sale in the county. The lot belonged to the resident, who reported it as fraud. Nothing has been transferred. Information on a suspect is in hand.

17:18 A person in Victor emailed to report a package missing from a parcel locker. It was the fourth package to go missing from that location in five years.

19:22 A driver was reported swerving and hitting construction cones about six miles from the state line. The call came in through Teton County, Wyoming, which passed it to the sheriff's office. A deputy found the car as it pulled off the highway into a business and walked up to the window. The driver, a 35-year-old man alone in the car, took several minutes to notice the deputy, though a flashlight was shining into the car. He did field sobriety tests and gave breath samples. The readings were .149 and .150, against a legal limit of .08. He was cited for first-offense DUI and booked into the Madison County jail.

09:58 A complaint from Tetonia about compliance with the bear code came in by email and was forwarded to an officer. No report was taken.

21:22 A witness in Victor reported seeing a man attack a woman. Both had left by the time a deputy arrived. The witness couldn't say whether the woman was hurt but described the pair. The deputy spoke with the witness and looked for the man and woman but couldn't find them.

08:54 An HOA representative in Tetonia reported a street sign missing. The bracket had been removed and left on the ground. The sign was gone. The representative had no suspects and wanted it documented.

03:31 A deputy in Victor detained a driver and a passenger during a search. Because of the weather, they were placed in the back of the deputy's car.

10:16 A business reported receiving fraudulent wire transfers of more than $28,000 in Jackson. Everything happened in Wyoming. The business was advised to contact the sheriff in Teton County, Wyoming.

06:32 A Victor resident reported that someone had tried to break into a car and was still in the driveway. The man said someone had dropped him off. He had also tried to get into a neighbor's. He was cited for unlawful entry and released. Two more calls in Driggs that day involved the same man, who had been having mental issues, according to the sheriff's office.

The Teton Valley sheriff blotter is compiled from Teton County Sheriff's Office dispatch logs.

Correction, Nov. 3, 2026: An earlier version of the 19:22 entry about a driver swerving and hitting cones said Homeland Security Investigations was contacted. After reviewing the dispatch notes and the deputy's report, the sheriff's office said neither records contact with any agency other than the Teton County, Wyoming, sheriff's office. The entry has been updated with details from the deputy's report.
