Placer County Sheriff Updates

Posted: 8/7/2010

Two cases that you have been following are getting delayed while a third case has just gotten a trial date. Jeremy Sarguis, who pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy and hit-and-run in the death of Vickie Janell Scott on I-80 in Roseville on Feb. 4, was scheduled for sentencing today at 1 p.m. in the Jail Courtroom in Auburn.

However, the sentencing will be delayed because the probation report has just been completed and neither side has had time to review. We’ll get the date later for you.

Secondly, the arraignment date of Sac Police Sgt. John Castiglia, cited for allegedly shoplifting in Roseville on May 28, was scheduled for Tuesday, June 29. However, the DA’s Office will ask for a new arraignment date tomorrow because it is still reviewing the case. We are seeking sometime in July.

Lastly, Placer County Sheriff’s Lt. John David Savage, charged with a misdemeanor count of negligently discharging a firearm, today was assigned a trial date of Oct. 25. The time and courtroom will be assigned at a hearing on Sept. 13 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 31 (Roseville courts).


Placer County Sheriff Department Annual Telemarketing Fundraising

Sheriff Edward N. Bonner
Posted: 8/7/2010

The Placer County Sheriff Department’s Search and Rescue teams are beginning their annual telemarketing fundraising drive throughout the county.

This year, Search and Rescue is hoping to purchase equipment for countywide searches, as well as mobile communications equipment for the Lake Tahoe area. Search and Rescue volunteers donate thousands of hours each year to locate lost hikers, skiers and anyone else who may need assistance in Placer County’s thousands of acres of wilderness.

Telephone solicitors will be calling Placer County residents to ask for donations. Anyone wishing to make a donation will be sent a pre-addressed envelope. Callers will not ask for credit card information. Donations should only be sent to the following addresses: P.O. Box 4150, Auburn, CA, 95604 or P.O. Box 1710, Tahoe City, CA 96145.

For further information, contact Search and Rescue Community Services Officer Katrina Kane at (530) 889-7846.
