EL DORADO COUNTY SHERIFF’S BLOTTER
April 23, 2026 — Arranged by Area
PLACERVILLE / MAIN STREET CORRIDOR
The day broke with cuffs and cold steel along Forni Road and Broadway.
A woman was booked on simple battery after a mid-day dust-up near a retail strip.
Across town, a man picked up on Broadway faced a parole violation stacked atop a public nuisance charge—no bail, no delay.
Echo Lane turned up a familiar mix: probation violations, a controlled substance, and a suspect who didn’t take kindly to deputies doing their job.
Highway 49 saw one of the heavier hits—elder abuse, tear gas possession, and contempt rolled into a six-figure bail.
Double Grove Street closed the books on the most serious collar of the day: a straight murder charge, no bail offered.
Earlier paperwork circled back to a March arrest on Mountain View Road—attempted murder of a peace officer and assault with a semi-automatic firearm among the counts.
By sundown, Placerville’s ledger read like old newsprint: violence, violations, and one case that won’t fade anytime soon.
SHINGLE SPRINGS / EL DORADO HILLS
Durock Road delivered a quiet but heavy felony—post-release supervision violated, no bail set.
Gold Strike Drive saw a late-night DUI with probation already hanging by a thread—revoked, again, with bail climbing past $30,000.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE BASIN
Emerald Bay Road logged a routine DUI—another driver caught leaning too hard on the bottle.
Nearby Wildwood turned up the same story, different name—alcohol behind the wheel, zero bail posted.
COUNTY WIDE / OTHER LOCATIONS
A quarter-million-dollar warrant came due at RCCC—failure to appear on a felony doesn’t age well.
The system caught up. It always does.
