CAMERON PARK, Calif. — A man was arrested after one deputy was dragged and thrown to the ground and another deputy was hit by a pickup truck in El Dorado County.
Both of the deputies have been released from a hospital the sheriff's office said in an update Thursday.
The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called to the 2200 block of Knollwood Drive in Cameron Park for a suspicious vehicle. After deputies arrived and found the vehicle, a white 2023 Nissan Titan pickup truck, they contacted the driver, who was identified as Deondre Kamena Bottoms, 31.
Deputies said Bottoms had a warrant for his arrest, but during the incident, he accelerated his truck and dragged a deputy, which caused the deputy to be "thrown several feet to the ground." According to the sheriff's office, Bottoms allegedly hit the other deputy, causing him to fall to the ground injured, and also hit other cars as he drove away.
The sheriff's office said Bottoms was arrested around 12:45 a.m. Thursday near the 7600 block of Greenback Lane in Citrus Heights.
Anyone with more information can call the sheriff's office at 530-621-6600.
