DUI: A 35-year-old Ouray man who blew a stop sign was asked to provide his license and instead offered the deputy his credit card. He was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. He said: "I wasn't driving, I was just moving my car around the block."
March 18
HIT AND RUN: A dirty SUV hit a car. The driver yelled, "Are you OK?" but took off before he could hear the answer from the victims. The victim couldn't read the license because it was caked in dirt. The victim said the hit and run driver "looked like he was wasted." Within five minutes, a deputy five blocks away from the accident serendipitously stopped a similar SUV on suspicious of DUI. The SUV matched the description of the hit and run vehicle (dried mud on the license plate), and the suspect matched the hit and run victim's description. There was fresh bumper marks on his front bumper.

DOG AT LARGE: A pit bull was running around, leash-less, trying to play with a pug. It had no town license and no owner. A man clearing snow said the dog had been running loose for 45 minutes. The code enforcement officer took the dog to the pound. When the owner was contacted, he hung up on the cops, and was described by police as having very poor manners. When he came into the marshal's office to retrieve the dog, he threw a $50 bill down on the counter (the fee for dog catching) and said to the officer "I have dealt with you in the past and you were a nice guy, but lately you're a jerk. Some day you will need my help and I'm not going to give it to you." When the officer saw him on the street later, the man yelled, "It's called Karma!" Again, he was described as being very poorly behaved.
March 16

The woman was cited for unnecessary noise violation.
