Also on the air
A steady day of routine traffic: roughly 27 plate checks, 18 records checks and a half-dozen traffic stops, mostly ending in verbal warnings. Morning calls included malicious mischief on Hidden Ranch Lane (09:23), a theft report tied to Pinky G's (09:25), and two complaints about noise/hassling on Town Square (cleared unfounded — the subject was playing guitar). A welfare check at 12:53 on S. US-89 at the transfer station for a woman crying roadside cleared GOA. Fire/EMS ran what appears to be a training exercise near the Elk Refuge Road pump house around 10:06–10:28, including helicopter marking. A moose jam south on the Gros Ventre [suspect location] was passed to the Park Service at 18:44. Evening deputies spent 22:05–22:57 coaxing a DUI-bond subject ($1,500 cash bond) to turn himself in; he reportedly agreed near Snow King. A 23:10 911 text about screaming and a person "wearing a cloak" near Cottonwood/Rangeview Drive was UTL by 23:31. START buses (TG 1820) reported Navineo display glitches and a DEF warning light; Game & Fish wardens worked a poaching call near Auburn, an out-of-season elk self-report in the Upper Green, and a fox-feeding complaint at the Wilson General Store.
By the numbers
1,546 transmissions across 372 exchanges. Busiest talkgroup: TG 1801 Teton County law dispatch (1,122). Busiest hour: 17:00–18:00 (164 transmissions); quietest daytime hour 11:00 (17). Categories: status 159, unclassified 109, plate-check 27, records-check 18, medical 18, animal 7, traffic-stop/domestic/traffic-complaint 6 each, transit 4, crash 4, fire 3, suspicious 2, alarm/welfare/911-open-line 1 each. 163 short status-only exchanges omitted.
Caveats
- Heavy machine-transcription noise today: unit numbers, road names and plate phonetics are frequently garbled, and many lines are marked [suspect]. Locations like "Grand Valley Grove" and several street names should be treated as approximate.
- Not all logged traffic is Teton County: TG 13751 is Fremont County EMS paging (Lander), TG 109 is statewide WHP (I-80 complaints), and the TG 6386 traffic stops on US-14A are Bighorn Basin. The 13:18 Dubois complaint attributed to "Vermont County" is almost certainly Fremont County.
- The Hoback Junction crash notification and the Teton Pass patient's final status were never clearly closed out on air.
