KINGS BEACH (CBS13) — Deputies say fresh
footprints in the snow lead them to three people suspected in a string of
recent home burglaries in the North Lake Tahoe area.
The arrests happened
around midnight on Sunday. According to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office,
deputies responded to Brockway Vista Avenue in Kings Beach after a homeowner
called to report that their surveillance camera captured images of several
burglars.
Deputies at the
scene soon discovered several sets of fresh shoe prints in the snow that led to
a nearby motel. Two suspects were then contacted and cooperated, but a third
suspect barricaded himself in the motel room.
That final suspect
eventually surrendered when a deputy announced that he was about to send a K9
after him.
All three suspects,
identified as 42-year-old Placerville resident Jesse Kulp, 34-year-old Carson
City resident Amanda Whedbee, and 29-year-old Rancho Cordova resident Daniel
McElroen, are suspected in at least four separate burglaries in the North Tahoe
area over the past few weeks, the sheriff’s office says.
Stolen property, including a loaded
firearm and a vehicle, were recovered by deputies.

a nice sound. It could be a poem, a mystery novel, a romance novel, a Hallmark
movie or a country-western song.)
