Drifting in with the cold: On Friday at 4:30 a.m., a 41-year-old Boise, Idaho, man wandered into a hotel lobby. He stated to the front desk that he needed to warm up. Hotel staff called Jackson police when the man “passed out” sleeping in the lobby. Police arrived and were unable to gather from the man where he was staying. He also didn’t have his phone. He was arrested for public intoxication.
Pack it out: Every week the Teton County Sheriff’s Office conducts routine patrols of the Stilson parking lot at the request of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort for any kind of overnight camping or trespassing violations. On Jan. 17 at 10:22 p.m., while conducting his patrol, a sheriff’s deputy came into contact with an occupied vehicle that had drug paraphernalia. A 27-year-old Jackson man wasn’t cited, but Sgt. Jesse Wilcox said the paraphernalia was taken for destruction.
Fresh face: On Jan. 18 at 1:03 p.m., security staff at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort contacted the sheriff’s office to report that they suspected a man who’d been fired was letting his friend use his employee ski pass. Security recognized the person who was using the ski pass, believed to be in his early 30s, as decidedly not the former employee. The man was never located, and the ex-employee reported that his friend was just visiting the area. The man used the ski pass for two days. The former employee denied having anything to do with it.
Short ride: On Saturday at 11:04 p.m., staff at a restaurant west of downtown said they had closed, but a male was lying outside their front door. The 25-year-old Pennsylvania man ultimately was given a ride to his hotel, located across the street.
Not so lost: On Saturday at 11:29 p.m., a group of friends visiting the area contacted the sheriff’s office to request a welfare check on their missing friend, a woman of unknown age who they believed to be highly intoxicated. The woman’s friends said she had taken a cab to where their rental was located in Teton Village, but once she was dropped off by the taxi company, they were unable to find her. Deputies ultimately located the woman inside the residence.
