El Dorado County Sheriff ARRESTS & Activity Log — Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025
(INEDC Newsline – Placerville, Calif.)
The clock had barely struck midnight when Philip Joseph Aslesen was hauled in at a South Lake Tahoe job site for using a fake contractor’s license — a $10,000 felony that shut down more than his weekend plans. Hours earlier, Richard Dodds and Russell Deering had both been stopped and booked for driving on suspended DUI licenses, proof that some folks never learn when to hand over the keys. By 4 a.m., the quiet was broken on Manzanita and Park, where Diego Canomorales was found drunk, mouthy, and charged with threatening a public official — a $25,000 mistake wrapped in cheap whiskey. That evening, Justin Roberts landed in the county lockup for terroristic threats, while Daniel Johnson and Robert Short both found themselves back behind bars for domestic-violence court order violations — one bail set at $25,000, the other doubled with probation tacked on. In Placerville, Caylex Mattox tried playing tough with deputies and wound up cited for resisting arrest. Down in Tahoe, Angelalyn Stockton added her name to the log with two felony probation violations and a resisting charge, all in one rough afternoon. The highways weren’t quiet either — Alexander Petelin was snagged by CHP for DUI east of Apache, and later that night on Highway 49, Hugo Brambila was stopped for driving on a suspended license while Brenda Martinez-Esparza shared the backseat for narcotics and paraphernalia possession. The day closed ugly in Tahoe when Whitney Dyruff took a swing with something sharper than fists on Julie Lane, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and Angel Gonzalez capped the night as a fugitive from justice out of Sierra Blvd — a small warrant, a long ride.
