Placerville / Pollock Pines / Pleasant Valley Roundup

EDSO Blotter — April 29, 2026

The night shift started hot on Merry Chase Drive, where deputies collared Richard Carlos Trujillo on a stack of narcotics beefs tied to alleged sales and transport of controlled substances. Bail climbed fast — $220,000 before the ink dried on the booking sheet. Over on Broadway, Gregory Patrick Bush II was hauled in just after midnight on a felony probation violation, another familiar stop in the revolving courthouse door. At China Garden, deputies grabbed Michael Allen Zellner on drug possession and a felony failure-to-register charge tied to transient offender requirements. Country Club Drive saw Savion Jaylen Ponce booked on DUI and intoxication charges after deputies found him allegedly under the influence behind the wheel. Pollock Pines deputies pinched Kenneth Alan Adams on suspicion of narcotics sales while already riding probation, stacking his bail at $90,000. Pleasant Valley Road turned into another roadside dope stop when Yanale Kay Cook was arrested on suspicion of transporting controlled substances along with unlawful registration violations. Later in the day, Broadway and Schnell School Road produced Charles Anton Greeson, booked on drug possession, contempt of court, and vehicle registration violations. By sundown, deputies across western El Dorado County had filled the jail log with narcotics cases, probation hits, drunk driving, and repeat offenders — the usual hard rain from another day on the county crime sheet.
