EL DORADO COUNTY SHERIFF’S BLOTTER — MARCH 18, 2026
Filed from the crime desk, where the ink runs dark and the nights run longer.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE
Three arrests stacked up along Lake Tahoe Boulevard and nearby streets as South Lake Tahoe Police Department kept busy through daylight hours.
Phil Sutherland Avila Jr. was collared late morning on Lake Tahoe Boulevard after a domestic violence call turned physical, with added resistance charges.
By noon, Christopher Michael Delmas was booked nearby on a simple battery beef and a probation tail that caught up with him.
Vanessa Sarah Napolesamor went in later that afternoon on Johnson Boulevard, facing a felony domestic violence count with a steep bail.
EL DORADO / DIAMOND SPRINGS AREA
Shortly after midnight, deputies from the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office made two stops on Echo Lane that turned into bookings.
Michelle Luisa Haddix was picked up on a straight probation violation—no bail, no delay.
Ronald Allen Gitchell followed, charged with driving on a suspended license tied to a prior DUI, bail set high at $50,000.
COUNTY PATROL / CHP JURISDICTION
Evening patrol by the California Highway Patrol ended with Derek Robert Robillard in custody on Saint Andrews Drive.
