Deputies and highway officers kept the hooks busy across Placerville corridors and nearby roads on Feb. 15, with narcotics and DUI driving the log. A woman was taken in just after midnight on E. China Hill Road on a DUI combined alcohol and drugs count, bail set at $15,500. Mid-morning, officers made a narcotics possession arrest on Placerville Drive, stacking three misdemeanor possession counts against one suspect. Total bail there reached $15,000, with identical possession charges listed three times in the booking sheet. Late afternoon, a driver was stopped on Bassi Road West in Lotus and arrested on two DUI alcohol counts, including the 0.08 percent threshold. That arrest carried no listed bail at booking. By evening, deputies moved on a Town Center Boulevard call involving trespass, resistance, and public intoxication.
