Vehicle hits motorcycle on West Broadway.

Top stories

  • Vehicle hits motorcycle on West Broadway. At 18:11 a START bus driver on Broadway near Miller Park radioed that he had witnessed a car collide with a motorcycle; dispatch (TG 1801) sent officers to the Loaf 'N Jug on West Broadway and paged Medic 10/Engine 11 (TG 1807) at 18:19 for a rider with foot injuries, alert and oriented. The bus's onboard video was flagged for investigators. The rider refused transport (18:40) and at 19:06 an officer reported he would self-transport to the hospital with friends' help.
  • Man on motel roof draws welfare response. At 19:22 dispatch sent two units to back a third at the Teton Gables Motel after a passerby reported a male sitting on the roof edge, "unknown if preparing or just enjoying the view." An officer on scene at 19:23 confirmed a person with feet hanging over the edge; by 19:28 units reported code four and the call cleared without incident.
  • Reported stolen vehicle found with apparent loaded firearm. At 05:34 an RP reported a vehicle stolen (transcribed as from "South Plumwood," mapping near West Deloney — road names uncertain). Officers found it parked, apparently unoccupied, at the West Deloney restrooms by 05:42; the checking officer reported open containers and what looked like a loaded firearm on the passenger floorboard. No further disposition on air.
  • Welfare check in Wilson with weapons in the home. At 18:27 two deputies were sent to a Wilson residence for a report of an intoxicated man with weapons in the home and two frightened daughters; dispatch relayed associated vehicles and a gun safe location at 18:32. Deputies cleared with a report by about 19:06.
  • Repeat subject busy overnight. At 23:00 officers were sent to the Virginian Lodge for a male refusing to close his bar tab; dispatch noted he matched a subject from the prior night who had implied he had a knife and was "identifying as Batman." A trespass notice was issued at 23:15. At 23:30 the same man (name garbled — "Steed"/"Steen"; possibly also linked to a 00:49 Loaf 'N Jug trespass) walked into the START bus office saying officers were harassing him; units checked the area but did not locate him and cleared at 23:41.
  • State records system down. At 11:00 WYDOT dispatch (TG 6403) broadcast that DCI's mainframe was down, blocking license/registration (27/28) returns statewide; Jackson dispatch reported return failures at 12:10, and the outage was still being worked at 22:36.

Also on the air

A steady enforcement day: roughly 40 plate checks and 33 records checks (many along South US-89 and Broadway), 8 traffic stops mostly clearing with warnings for speed, stop signs and a move-over violation, and a citation for speed at 10:54. Medical traffic included falls at a Scott Lane motel (12:18, transported to St. John's) and the Three Creek clubhouse (14:44, 42-year-old with a leg injury, transported), plus a dog-bite patient sent to urgent care from Shooting Star (10:54). Animal calls: a found dog returned to its owner (11:38), dogs in distress in a parked vehicle on North Glenwood (14:39), and a dog at large at Whole Foods warned off (19:38). Other texture: a fireworks/Roman-candle complaint near the rec center (00:34), a highly intoxicated female welfare check (01:59) ending in one jail transport, a harassment complaint at the Wort Hotel (08:03), a bottle-throwing argument on North Cache (17:49), a no-contact noise complaint on West Snow King (22:26), several erratic-driver complaints on WY-22 and Spring Gulch, and routine START bus transfers, a schedule glitch, and a low-fuel bus swap (21:01). Fremont County EMS paging carried ~10 medical calls and a structure fire.

By the numbers

  • 1,753 transmissions across 443 exchanges (185 short status-only exchanges omitted from the log).
  • Busiest talkgroup: TG 1801 Teton County law dispatch, 1,253 transmissions (71%); next: START transit 142, unidentified TG 19871 77.
  • Busiest hour: 11:00 with 180 transmissions; quietest: 03:00 with 3.
  • Categories: status 170, unclassified 125, plate-check 40, records-check 33, medical 27, transit 13, traffic-stop 8, traffic-complaint 8, animal 6, suspicious 4, welfare 4, crash 3, domestic 1, fire 1.

Caveats

  • Significant non-Teton traffic in the log: TG 13751 is Fremont County EMS paging (including the 21:37 Pavillion-area structure fire), TG 109 carries statewide WHP broadcasts (I-80/US-191 complaints, a Rock Springs stolen-truck/suicide-by-cop ATL at 11:25), and TG 19871 appears to be Fremont/Shoshoni-area traffic.
  • Whisper transcription is rough: many road and unit names are likely wrong (e.g., "South Plumwood," "the Rose," "Wart Hotel" = likely Wort Hotel), and the recurring subject's name varies between "Steed," "Steen" and "Sneed." Details from [suspect] lines are hedged or omitted.
  • The DCI mainframe outage from 11:00 onward means some plate/records exchanges ended without returns; dispositions for several stops are unclear.
