The Big Horn County Sheriff’s Office received the following calls for the week of December 9-14:

8:48 a.m. – A caller reported that the door to the ATM at the self-service Big Horn Co-op fuel station on the east side of Byron was open. The caller was informed that the ATM had been damaged due to a crash on December 7, was now empty and there was nothing to worry about.

10:53 a.m. – Two dogs were reported running down the highway northeast of Byron on U.S. 14A. There is no county dog-at-large ordinance, so “there’s nothing we can do,” a sheriff’s spokesman said.

5:10 p.m. – A sparking power pole was reported at the Lovell Community Center. The Lovell Fire Department responded and contacted the power company.

December 10: 9:33 a.m. – A caller reported someone knocking on their window in Byron. It was just a friend asking to be let in.
