EL DORADO COUNTY SHERIFF
WEEKEND CRIME WRAP
Placerville, El Dorado Hills & the Hill Communities | Dec. 19–21, 2025
From Friday morning through late Sunday night, deputies and police agencies across El Dorado County worked a steady drumbeat of felony arrests, domestic violence calls, DUI stops, and repeated disturbance complaints. No riots. No manhunts. Friday set the tone early with serious felony arrests, including a $1.22 million bail case on Broadway in Placerville tied to failure to register as a felony sex offender. Friday mood: Heavy. Legal consequences stacked high. Saturday traded courtroom gravity for call volume. Drug arrests and DUI stops filled the gaps, particularly near Red Hawk Parkway and South Shingle Road. Saturday mood: Loud, messy, and restless. Sunday morning came in hot. By nightfall, domestic violence calls stacked up in Cameron Park, with one ending in a report taken. Sunday mood: Fast starts, dark turns. $1.22 Million Bail — Placerville: Failure-to-register felony case dominated Friday’s bookings. Violent Felony Stack — South Lake Tahoe: False imprisonment, aggravated domestic violence, witness intimidation, vandalism, and child abuse allegations in one arrest. Two Death Investigations: One in Garden Valley (Saturday), one in Placerville (Sunday). Felony Gun Allegation: Assault with a firearm arrest on Rancheria Drive. No individuals appeared more than once by name across the Dec. 19–21 arrest logs.

Just the regular churn of trouble.
FRIDAY, DEC. 19 — FELONIES AND BIG BAIL
Domestic violence arrests surfaced both in Placerville and South Lake Tahoe, some paired with probation violations.
A fugitive arrest, a felony battery with serious injury, and a weapons exhibition charge rounded out the day.
SATURDAY, DEC. 20 — DISTURBANCES AND A DEATH
Deputies bounced between verbal disturbances, suspicious subjects, harassment calls, and welfare checks from Cameron Park to El Dorado Hills.
The most serious call came out of Garden Valley, where deputies responded to a dead person report and took a formal report.
SUNDAY, DEC. 21 — ARRESTS BEFORE BREAKFAST
Two suspicious subject calls turned into arrests before 9:15 a.m., one on Missouri Flat Road and another along Pony Express Trail.
Minutes later, deputies were called to Zoot Allures Road in Placerville for a dead person, marking the second death investigation of the weekend.
