El Dorado County Sheriff Arrests

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterWhatsappReddit

A domestic violence collar on Artesia Road set the tone—$350,000 bail and a felony that carries weight.
Deputies and CHP kept busy as alcohol-fueled arrests stacked up from Red Hawk to Main Street, a steady drumbeat of DUIs through the night.

A Durock Road operation turned up more than smoke—marijuana sales, cultivation, and a felony tied to property use for narcotics.

On Hillcrest Drive, a registrant skipped the book and landed back in custody on a felony failure to register.
South Lake Tahoe officers picked up a fugitive riding on a warrant, with drugs and stolen property tagging along for the trip.

Placerville streets saw the usual mix—public intoxication, resistance, and a battery charge that escalated a roadside encounter on Highway 49.

Highway 88 wasn’t quiet either, another DUI logged as the afternoon wore thin into evening.
By nightfall, the county ledger read familiar—booze, warrants, and bad decisions, all booked and waiting for court.
