7/21/2025 @ 6:30 pm. The Sheriff’s Office assisted Rangely PD controlling with a good old-fashioned brawl inside the town limits. Apparently, someone missed the memo that the first rule of Fight Club is don’t start one in public. Law enforcement brought things under control. One male party was taken into custody by Rangely PD—fight night ended early, and there were no trophies handed out. Moral of the story: If your evening plans involve fists, maybe reconsider. Rangely PD is undefeated.
7/23/2025 @ 4:21 pm. An InReach message sent to a friend prompted an emergency response for a male party who sustained a broken leg in a horse accident near County Road 121. He splinted his lower leg with items in the area, jumped back on his horse and rode it back to his side by side, tied his horse to the side by side, and continued the trek to meet the ambulance near a residence on a County Road. Classic Air Medical was dispatched to the scene, however he refused to be flown out and was transported to the hospital by ambulance. This cowboy gets the “Tough Guy Award!”
