EL DORADO COUNTY SHERIFF’S LOG
Monday, May 18, 2026
Placerville Area
Placerville kept deputies running Monday with disturbances, trespassing complaints, suspicious calls, and two separate missing person reports moving across the scanner from dawn to dark. A dead person call on Hawk Haven Lane in Somerset put investigators on scene early, while another death investigation surfaced later in Garden Valley off Lynx Ridge Road. Deputies answered a verbal disturbance on Lo Hi Way before sunrise, then handled fresh trouble near Gold Trail School and Missouri Flat Road before lunch. The courthouse stayed busy with civil incidents and jail-related calls tied to the Fair Lane and Forni Road corridor. Trespass complaints stacked up from Cutaway Lane to Gemstone Road as deputies chased drifters, prowlers, and unwanted visitors across the west slope. In Camino, a domestic violence report on Pony Express Trail turned serious enough for a formal report, while a brandishing call near Jones Fork Camp on Ice House Road brought deputies into the National Forest. By evening, Pollock Pines added more static to the radio with disturbance calls, suspicious reports, and a trespassing complaint at CVS on Pony Express Trail. The graveyard shift closed the book with another domestic violence report out of Greenwood, another hard night in the county where trouble rides the back roads after dark.

EL DORADO HILLS & CAMERON PARK
El Dorado Hills stayed noisy Monday night with trespassing calls, suspicious vehicles, loitering complaints, and disturbances rolling through shopping centers and subdivisions. Deputies checked out suspicious activity near Viscuso’s Pizza shortly after midnight before heading toward Marina Park Drive for a trespassing complaint later in the morning. Nugget Market, Safeway, and Valley View Parkway all generated disturbance or loitering calls before the dinner hour crowd faded. Cameron Park logged a battery report at the Arco station on Merrychase Drive, a private property tow at Studio 6, and multiple trespassing complaints before nightfall. Missing person calls surfaced in both Cameron Park and El Dorado Hills as deputies worked to track down subjects reported missing by family members. A vandalism report on Schooner Drive and a court order violation on Gresham Drive added more paperwork to the pile. By late evening, deputies were still fielding verbal disturbances off Wentworth Road while patrol cars drifted between gas stations, grocery lots, and apartment rows under parking lot lights. Same county, same soundtrack — scanners crackling, boots on pavement, and another shift burning down to midnight.
