(INEDC) EDSO Sheriff ARRESTS Blotter EL DORADO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA May 12 2026

Placerville & Diamond Springs

Access Card Fraud on Pleasant Valley Road

Michael Walter Wright III and Rosita Maria Lee were both hauled in after a late-night stop on Pleasant Valley Road turned into a felony counterfeit and access-card case. Deputies booked the pair just after midnight with identical felony charges tied to stolen card information. Over on Forni Road, Roland Dean Brown caught a shoplifting collar in broad daylight. At Fowler Lane in Diamond Springs, deputies stacked cases through the afternoon and evening — Alan Marc Rodgers booked on felony grand theft, Lucas James Gardner nailed on a narcotics-for-sale charge, and Tsil Eillen Wright locked up on felony drug possession with priors, plus paraphernalia beefs. Cameron Park deputies picked up Edward Todd Pippin on a probation violation near Cameron Park Drive. Just before midnight, Matthew Alan Wigiert was booked on a felony parole violation out on Justine Avenue. The county jail sheet read like an old police radio — theft, dope, violations, and hard luck lined up wall-to-wall. Another Tuesday in the foothills, where the cuffs click louder after dark.

South Lake Tahoe

Domestic Violence, Child Abuse Charges Filed

South Lake Tahoe Police booked Jeremy Michael Botto after a disturbance on Lake Tahoe Boulevard turned into a domestic violence and child abuse case. Authorities listed misdemeanor battery on a spouse or partner and child abuse charges tied to the arrest. Bail was set at $32,500. The arrest report also included an informational felony entry connected to the same incident. Detectives kept details close to the vest Tuesday night. The booking added another domestic call to the Tahoe police log. Neighbors along the boulevard watched patrol units roll in before the cuffs came out. Another household dispute spilling from behind closed doors into the cold fluorescent light of a booking desk.

Spotlight Charges

  • Family Fight on Tahoe Boulevard — Domestic battery and child abuse allegations lead to arrest.
  • Tahoe Trouble Call — Police log fills with another volatile household disturbance.

Out-of-County Holds & Transfers

Jail-to-Jail Transfers Fill the Blotter

Kyle Josephmorgan Suan was transferred through Solano County Jail on a controlled-substance charge carrying a steep $75,000 bail figure. Lee Ernest Duckett was brought in from Nevada custody on a probation violation hold. Shaniya Herrera landed in county custody out of Sacramento County Jail on a felony second-degree burglary case. Taylor Haines Stewart was transferred from Douglas County Jail on a post-release community supervision violation. Deputies spent as much time moving bodies between jail doors as making fresh street arrests Tuesday. The county’s warrant pipeline stayed busy from Nevada to Sacramento. Old cases, missed terms, and violation paperwork kept transport deputies rolling. The paperwork never sleeps, and neither do the holding cells.

Spotlight Charges

  • Burglary Hold from Sacramento — Felony second-degree burglary suspect transferred in.
  • Nevada Return Trip — Probation violator brought back across state lines.
  • Supervision Slip-Up — PRCS violation ends with transfer from Douglas County.
  • High Bail Drug Hold — Controlled-substance arrest carries $75K bail.
