He was able to crawl up the hill side and call for help and was transported to KH with what appeared to be multiple broken ribs and other non-life threatening injuries. The owners of the van were notified and working to get the vehicle out of the trees/creek where it came to a rest, but that will be done tomorrow in the daylight, due to road/weather conditions.

• Deputies responded to the Stateline Amerimart after a clerk passed out and hit his head as he fell to the ground.

• Deputies arrested a male on his domestic battery warrant.

• Deputies responded to Kon-Tiki for a fight with the suspect still actively resisting while being detained by security. Multiple witnesses said a male “sucker punched” another male while he was sitting at the bar, knocking him to the ground. Other than a heated discussion over sports the two were having over an hour earlier, no motive was established. The suspect was citizen arrested by the victim for battery and he was trespassed from Showgirls. 20-02155

• While sitting in the SO parking lot doing paperwork, the Sergeant was approached by two Deputies from the jail conducting a perimeter check of the SO campus, who said they saw a man throwing up outside his vehicle at the Maverik across the street. The Sergeant saw the male bent over as if throwing up, then watched him get back into the driver’s seat of his running vehicle. He turned on the reverse lights but did not leave. The Sergeant contacted the driver and discovered the driver to be intoxicated. He admitted he had just driven to this location from the Tipsy Pine and pulled over because he realized he should not be driving, or at least just to throw up. A Deputy arrived and arrested the driver for DUI. Medical responded for a patient evaluation because the driver began throwing up again and stated this was due to detoxing off of heroin on top of being intoxicated. 20-02170

Due to the weather the shift was again busy with multiple slide offs and other minor crashes.
