Top stories
- Large juvenile party dispersed in Rangeview area. At 22:09 dispatch (TG 1801) sent town and county units to a noise complaint on Alpine View Lane, reportedly ~100 juveniles, possibly drinking, cars blocking streets. Unit 719 arrived at 22:21 to kids "scattered all over Rangeview," reported "alcohol and marijuana everywhere," ran PBTs and multiple juvenile records checks, and warned other units that intoxicated teens were likely driving off — one was later contacted at the high school lot. Attendees were released to responsible parties by 22:50; smaller groups were still being contacted, including a second, supervised no-alcohol party, through 23:46. Cleared with report.
- Domestic violence call on West Snow King. At 21:33 units were paged to a reported DV physical at a residence on West Snow King; an intoxicated female suspect with reported DV/DUI priors left in a black Lexus, with possible firearms in the home. Units checked an address on North Jean Street, found the Lexus there at 22:03 and had eyes on the suspect by 22:09 while another unit stayed with the victim. A report was cleared later in the shift; no arrest is stated in the log.
- Hit-and-run in town, suspect not located. At 21:05 units were sent toward Buffalo Way for a two-minute-old hit-and-run; the suspect vehicle was first aired as a white GMC SUV eastbound on Broadway through Town Square, but the plate reportedly returned to a white Toyota Tundra — the description was corrected/conflicting on air. Officers were UTL; at 21:17 a highway unit staged near Sidewinders off Budge Drive to watch for it. Separately, a cold hit-and-run on a white Nissan Rogue was reported on North Glenwood at 10:55.
- Overnight DUI arrest after 100-mph report. Just after 00:00, a vehicle was reported southbound at "100-plus miles an hour"; the RP called back saying the driver pulled off at the South Park Boat Ramp. Officers located the driver, confirmed a 10-55 at 00:21, read implied consent, and took an adult female to the jail by 00:24. Transcription is garbled; details are low-confidence.
- ~50 middle-schoolers swarm Smith's. At 16:03 an RP reported a large group of middle-school-age kids yelling, apparently stealing donuts and knocking over items in the store; multiple units and an SRO were sent. By 16:10 the manager said it was no longer active; officers remained in the area.
- Pit bull attack off South Park Loop. At 14:14 units 2241 and 2222 were sent to South Park Ranch Road where a pit bull was attacking the RP on her property; the victim was separated from the dog and declined an ambulance. The dog's owner arrived on scene and the RP was reported escalating; the dog owner's information was collected.
Also on the air
A busy but routine day otherwise: a commercial fire alarm on Pioneer Lane at 13:06 (Battalion 3/Engine 11) turned out to be a cooking incident with no fire; ~71 medical exchanges including a chest-pain patient taken from the Teton Village Clinic to St. John's (12:08), a 62-year-old woman who fell and hit her head near Center/Deloney (15:06, transported), an 81-year-old feeling dizzy at Pioneer Homestead (17:24), a 75-year-old with chest pain at the urgent care near Smith's (18:13), and an airport flight transfer. Three other minor, non-injury collisions (Powderhorn Plaza, TJ Maxx lot, South 89). A disabled US Foods semi blew a radiator hose near Glory on Teton Pass (16:22–16:31); an ATL went out at 16:08 for an unsecured child on an adult's lap in an SUV southbound on US-89; a 20:14 ATL sought a fraud suspect with a local warrant in a black Jeep Wagoneer towing a black trailer. Dozens of routine traffic stops, plate and records checks, parking complaints (including a truck/trailer blocking six spots at Our Lady of the Mountain since Tuesday), a dog-in-hot-car call at Bubba's (unfounded, but re-reported two hours later), an accidental 911 dial, and steady START bus and school-bus traffic — including a school bus overheating at the middle school at 08:29, with students smoothly transferred to two other buses.
By the numbers
- 2,653 transmissions across 720 exchanges (286 short status-only exchanges omitted from the log).
- Busiest talkgroup: TG 1801 Teton County law dispatch (1,662 transmissions); busiest hour: 15:00 (317).
- Categories: status 251, unclassified 228, medical 71, plate-check 59, records-check 45, transit 24, traffic-complaint 12, traffic-stop 10, animal 7, fire 6, crash 5, suspicious 1, 911-open-line 1.
Caveats
- Non-Teton traffic is mixed in: TG 13751 is Fremont County EMS paging (Lander/Riverton — including a Badwater Road grass fire with repeated pages 18:48–19:05), TG 109 is statewide WHP (mostly I-80 complaints), and TG 13186 references Chugwater/Cheyenne and is likely not local. TG 1812 is unidentified but appears to be school-bus operations.
- Machine transcription is heavy with errors — unit numbers, names, and street names are unreliable; the overnight DUI sequence and several dispatch summaries are pieced together from garbled audio.
- Zero transmissions were logged 03:00–03:59, which may be a genuine quiet hour or a receiver gap. The hit-and-run suspect vehicle description changed on air (GMC SUV vs. Toyota Tundra return).
