Blackfoot River: $400 Sex Doll Sparks 3-Hour Rescue, Deputies Drenched

Blackfoot River deputies launched a full-scale search after a $400 life-size sex doll, mistaken for a drowning victim, triggered three hours of drone sweeps near Soda Springs. Why do police search rivers? What happens if you dump odd objects? Sheriff Adam Mabey admitted, âThis whole story has generated a lot of jokes and stories and really interesting Facebook comments,â after his team pulled the silicone companion from the water.
After deputies realized their 'victim' was a silicone mannequin, local law enforcement debated whether the soggy dollâs owner could be charged with littering. Can you get arrested for dumping mannequins? What are police protocols for river rescues? The scene featured soaked uniforms, drone flyovers, and a rescue team that discovered irony floating face-upâMabey quipped heâd rather âgo all out and make sure we did everything properly at a scene⌠than rush in and do something and find out we shouldâve done something more.â
Despite three hours, two drones, and 16 river miles, deputies retrieved only a waterlogged, anonymous silicone companion destined for the evidence roomâs least romantic shelf.
