Phillips County Sheriff's Office Releases Activity Report Jan. 29 through Feb. 5

The Phillips County Sheriff’s Office has published its latest activity report covering the week that includes Jan. 29 through Feb. 5 and continues a pattern of posting weekly call logs that document day-to-day law enforcement work across the county. The entries provide a granular look at patrol activity, traffic enforcement, mental-health responses and at least one reported burglary, information residents can use to monitor safety in their communities.

The sheriff’s office log for the Jan. 22–29 period, cited in the county postings, lists repeated patrol and security checks in rural corridors. The report states, “Deputy performed security checks in the Dodson and Hwy 2 west areas,” and later notes deputies again “performed security checks in the Saco, Sleeping Buffalo and Hwy 2 east areas.” Those routine checks bookend a day with multiple service calls and a string of traffic and welfare responses.

On Jan. 23 the office recorded a series of incidents that underscore the variety of calls deputies handle. The log reads, “911 received requesting a tow truck for a disabled vehicle east of Malta; local towing company handled,” and shortly after, “Deputy performed security checks in the Saco and Hwy 2 east areas.” Deputies handled harassment and threats complaints; the record notes, “Female reported receiving numerous threats via text messages; Deputy handled,” and separately, “Female reported being harassed on social media; Deputy handled.”

Traffic enforcement led to arrests. The report documents, “Deputy performed a traffic stop which led to one adult male, Dario Carrasco, being transported to PCSO to be incarcerated in PCSO Jail on Driving While Suspended-2nd and Probation Violation charges; case file started.” The log also records a separate stop: “Undersheriff and Deputy performed a traffic stop on Bear Gulch Road which led to one adult female, Rae Bibeau, being transported to PCSO to be incarcerated in PCSO Jail on a Hill Co SO warrant; case file started.” Tow trucks and local EMT crews assisted where needed; the entries note a tow was requested and “local towing company handled,” and that “PC Hospital requested an ambulance for a flight crew pick up from the airport; local EMT Crew handled.”

The report also highlights mental-health and social-service intersections. A welfare check at a Malta residence prompted the entry, “PC Hospital requested a welfare check on a patient at a Malta residence; Deputy responded; two individuals had threatened suicide to their therapists via phone but were doing better at this time; information passed onto Centralized Intake.” A community assistance entry notes, “Male received a meal voucher through the local Ministerial Assistance.” Deputies recorded a homeowner’s report that “Female reported her residence south of Dodson was broken into; Deputy responded; case file started.”

Local coverage of the sheriff’s posts has praised the level of detail, observing that “Phillips County Sheriff's Office posted a detailed day-by-day log of law enforcement activity covering Jan. 22-29, 2026, providing residents with a transparent record of calls for service, traffic stops, welfare checks, ambulance assists and arrests.” Residents can consult the sheriff’s weekly postings to follow incidents in their neighborhoods and raise specific concerns with deputies or county leaders. Continued publication of these logs offers a practical way for Phillips County residents to track patterns and to shape community responses on safety, mental health coordination and neighborhood watch efforts.
