Top stories

  • Unresponsive-infant call at Spring Hill Suites was a doll. At 11:13 the hotel's general manager reported what appeared to be an unattended infant, possibly not breathing, in a guest room (150 W Simpson area). Medic 10, Engine 11, Battalion 2, MD-1 and multiple law units responded code; by 11:17 law enforcement confirmed on TG 1807 it was a doll and units cleared.
  • Runaway juvenile from CBRV found by ground/drone search, later transported. From 20:28, TG 1801 units searched for a 12-year-old male, no shoes, last seen near WY-390/Aster. A drone search was launched from the CBRV lot (20:42); a deputy spotted him northbound near Snake River Insurance and detained him about 20:56–21:00. At 21:48 dispatch reported he had swallowed wood chips; Engine 61/Medic 16 responded and transported with facility staff at 22:03.
  • Overnight bicycle crash with head injury near Gregory Lane. At 00:12 an unconscious male on the ground was reported near the Timbers/Roadhouse Brewery area. First report was corrected on air: he was conscious and seated, an apparent bike crash with a laceration above the right eye, reportedly no helmet (00:16–00:17). Medic 10/Engine 11 transported to St. John's by 00:33.
  • Armed suicidal-subject ATL out of Alpine canceled — subject located. At 11:40 dispatch broadcast an attempt-to-locate for a Lincoln County subject who left an Alpine residence with a firearm in the vehicle, direction of travel unknown. Canceled at 11:55 after the subject was located.
  • Morning crash on US-26 taken by Teton County; second incident on WY-22. From ~07:14 on TG 6386, WHP worked a crash on US-26 involving a black Sprinter van and a minivan towing a small camper, with "significant damage"; Palisades Towing was requested and a separate property-damage crash was reported at the 16 on WY-22. With the trooper's radios failing, Teton County agreed at 07:31 to take the US-26 collision; a deputy cleared it with a state accident report by 08:26, noting a moose near the road at the 16.
  • Aggressive traveler at bus stops prompts PD response. Through the evening (17:16–17:55), START drivers reported a man with a suitcase trying to reach Alpine who wouldn't board the correct bus and became aggressive; at 17:55 the transit supervisor told drivers not to engage and that PD had been called. Officers checked him at 18:03 and reported he was okay; dispatch noted he may be the same subject contacted the previous day.

Also on the air

A steady routine day: ~55 medical calls in category (many of them Fremont County paging traffic), including a lift assist on Teton Pines Drive (10:21), a 70-year-old woman who fell at the Virginian Restaurant (12:15), a fainting with head injury at the airport called in by ARFF (12:55), and a seizure on North Millward (17:13). Three fire/burglar alarms cleared without incident (Fall Creek Road area ~00:58, a Teton Village residence on West Michael Drive at 11:00, East Simpson at 13:48), plus a late business alarm found secure (22:53). 34 plate checks and 26 records checks, a handful of traffic stops ending in warnings, parking complaints (RV/boat on Clissold, vehicles in handicap spots at the Loop Apartments), a converted box-truck camper blocking a Hoback-area driveway that was moved by 19:55, a prisoner transport to Swan Valley and Bondurant, oversize-load crossings logged on Teton Pass, oil spilled on Rancher near Upper Cache (15:18), and heavy evening backups at Fish Hatchery Hill. START and school-bus channels spent much of the day sorting out an on-again/off-again downtown detour for Willow/Broadway-area construction (barricades finally going up ~21:25) and tracking student pickups; a deer warning went out for Pearl Ave at 21:26.

By the numbers

2,326 transmissions across 702 exchanges. Busiest talkgroup: TG 1801 Teton County law dispatch (1,225 transmissions); busiest hour: 08:00–09:00 (210), with a second peak 15:00–16:00 (207). Categories: status 248, unclassified 252, medical 55, plate-check 34, records-check 26, transit 22, crash 15, animal 15, traffic-complaint 9, fire 7, alarm 6, plus small counts of hazard, traffic-stop, noise-parking, domestic and welfare. 318 short status-only exchanges omitted.

Caveats

  • TG 13751 (Lander/Fremont County EMS paging), TG 109 (WHP statewide) and much of TG 113 carried non-Teton traffic (I-80 complaints, Riverton/Lander livestock and crashes) and are excluded from local items.
  • Transcription quality is poor in places: unit numbers, road names ("far-y road," "Barwai Road," "State's Rush Apartments") and several outcomes are garbled; [suspect] lines were treated as low-confidence and some dispositions (e.g., the West Pearl disturbance) are unclear on air.
  • TG 1812 is unlabeled but appears to be school-bus operations; TG 6586/13732 fragments may not be Teton County traffic.
