El Dorado County Sheriff’s Blotter — Christmas Eve
(Arranged by Local Area)
Placerville:
Christmas Eve opened with a drunk assisted out of Safeway on Missouri Flat Road just before 1 a.m., followed later by a dead person report along Highway 193, officer-initiated, report taken.
By late afternoon, a suspicious vehicle stop at the Missouri Flat Safeway ended with advice only, and a suspicious subject call on Fair Lane was logged and cleared.
Placerville closed the day with a battery report on Newtown Road, this one serious enough for a formal report.
Cameron Park:
Cameron Park carried the weight of the day, with two battery calls at Ponte Palmero—one assisted, one later canceled—and a brandishing incident at Cambridge Garden Apartments that brought deputies running.
Information reports stacked up across Sierra Oaks, Palmer Drive, and The Knolls, paperwork heavy, streets tense.
El Dorado Hills & Diamond Springs:
El Dorado Hills logged suspicious circumstances, a prowler call advised, and a grand theft report on Monte Verde Drive that ultimately checked clear.
Diamond Springs stayed busy with multiple information exchanges and a late-night noise complaint that deputies found unfounded.
South Lake Tahoe & The Divide:
South Lake Tahoe deputies handled early-morning suspicious circumstances, campground disputes, and evening verbal disturbances, all cooled without arrests.
Outlying areas—from Georgetown to Somerset, Pilot Hill, Garden Valley, and Wrights Lake Road—rounded out the day with reports taken, a search-and-rescue call, and disturbances gone on arrival.
