Sonora, CA...Deputies discovered a much more sinister plan was in the works when they responded to a Sonora home on Phoenix Lake Road Saturday afternoon for a reported vandalism. The caller heard a loud noise at the front of their residence and saw a neighbor, 43-year-old Alayna Moro, walking away from the home with a hammer in her hand. Moro returned a short time later holding a gas can and lighter. She turned around and left the property after seeing the homeowner. A broken garage window and damage to an RV were believed to have been caused by Moro.

Sheriff-Coroner James W. Mele's Last Day Will Be June 30th |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 05/15/2018 10:55 AM
|
Sonora, CA...I am announcing that June 30, 2018 will be my last day as Sheriff-Coroner of Tuolumne County. With the uncertainty of the 2018-2019 budget I feel that my last act as Sheriff should be with certainty. As you are aware this budget cycle is a very tight budget. This will allow a savings for a whole year versus only half of the year because of my higher salary. The difference comes in the longevity of my thirty years with this organization, where Undersheriff Pooley has six years of longevity with us. This will allow the movement of the new Undersheriff position to be filled; however, I will be recommending to not fill the vacated Lieutenant position until or after Mid-Year at the earliest.
