In your request you mention a date range to search for records, (2016 through 2020). The Sheriff's Office is only able to provide records from 2018 through 2020, as we did not track the information you are requesting before 2018, and for that reason, the Sheriff's Office has no records to provide for years 2016 and 2017.

Released: Please see attached documents

If you have any questions, please contact me via email or at 530-886-3880.
