Amador County – An Amador County Sheriff’s deputy have arrested an Ione man, and with the help of the Ione Police Department, the investigation was able to find a link between the man and at least 2 burglaries in the city. Ione Police Department announced the ongoing investigation in a release Tuesday. IPD Sergeant Rocky Harpham said the investigation began last Wednesday, when an Amador County Sheriff Office deputy made a traffic stop of an Ione resident, who reportedly has “been involved in criminal activity within the county.” Harpham said a “search of the suspect’s vehicle produced jewelry, coins, and other precious metals.” The deputy’s “knowledge of recent burglaries in the Ione area facilitated further investigation,” and Ione Police Department responded to a request from the deputy to assist in the investigation. Harpham said the “Ione officer contacted one of the victims from a burglary that occurred within the city limits,” and the “victim positively identified some of the property as items stolen in the residential burglary.” Ione Police said a suspect, Michael Leonard Bloom, 46, of Ione, was arrested at the scene for possession of stolen property and booked into the Amador County Jail. Bloom was arrested at Highways 104 and 88, and charged with a felony count of receiving known stolen property valued at more than $400. His bail was set at $10,000. Harpham said IPD has since worked with Amador sheriff’s detectives and the Amador County Combined Narcotics Enforcement Team to develop further information and leads. By Tuesday, 1 other Ione burglary victim was able to identify stolen property from the items seized by the sheriff’s deputy during last week’s traffic stop. Ione police have “conducted probation searches and executed search warrants in furtherance of the on-going investigation.” Additional property, paraphernalia, and suspected controlled substances have been seized as results of those efforts. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information about thefts or stolen property is urged to contact IPD at 209-274-2456. This email address is being protected from spambots.
