EL DORADO COUNTY ARREST BLOTTER — MARCH 22–23, 2026
Arranged by Local Area


PLACERVILLE / WEST SLOPE

The weekend ledger opened on Pleasant Valley Road, where Garrett Straight went down hard—felony domestic violence, vandalism, and a supervision violation stacking his bail into six figures.
On Mosquito Road, Mike Elder ran from the law and lost, booked on a felony evasion charge with reckless driving riding shotgun.
Highway 50 through Placerville stayed busy—Alejandro Rivera picked up on a late-night DUI stop near Placerville Drive.
Stephanie Johnson joined the list hours later, stopped eastbound near Red Hawk Parkway, another alcohol arrest on the books.
At the courthouse, Tiffany Deal’s trouble escalated—alleged narcotics possession tied to a smuggling charge inside a jail facility.
Robert Silver’s case cut deeper than most—booked on a felony child stealing charge out of a Johnson Boulevard address.
Gasha Stinson landed in custody on fraud and false benefit statements, a paper trail case with felony weight.
Out on SR-193, Paul Kleckner closed the loop—another DUI arrest, another name in a long weekend of alcohol stops.
