Eight collars across El Dorado County in a 24-hour stretch, deputies and local PDs keeping the wheels turning.
Placerville saw a DUI stop turn sour when Larissa Angelocci allegedly resisted officers after a late-night pull-up.
Probation didn’t hold for Shawn Wrigley or Fernando Esparza—both picked up again on violations before sundown.
The heaviest hit landed on Deerwood Drive, where Robert Franco was booked on assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence, bail set sky-high at $430,000.
Up in South Lake Tahoe, gunfire rang out—Jaime Hernandez booked for negligent discharge after an early morning incident.
By afternoon, Stephanie Cothern was in cuffs facing a stack: drug smuggling into custody, possession, and a domestic violence count.
April Howe added resistance to the mix, allegedly fighting officers while under the influence on Lake Tahoe Boulevard.
Kirkwood closed the day quiet but not clean—Joshua Azua taken in for public intoxication as the mountain settled into night.
