Amador County – Sutter Creek has been the latest area to get several reports of mountain lions being spotted. New Sutter Creek Police Chief Brian Klier (Clear) reported to the city council Monday (August 16th) that approximately 10 mountain lion sightings have been reported, with the sightings occurring on Carson Drive and Allen Ranch. Klier said no police personnel have seen the lion, but the people making the reports “are pretty sure about what they saw.” He said the California Fish & Game ranger for the county has been notified. He asked that people be careful in those areas, especially in the early morning and late in the day. Klier noted that Ione Police Department last week announced it had verified mountain lion sightings near the Ione Junior High School, which included a suspected mother lion and her young. Klier said if people encounter a mountain lion, they should make themselves “bigger,” raising arms. They should also make the lion aware that people are present, by making noise. He said do not throw anything at a mountain lion. They can only be shot “in cases of eminent danger for human life,” Klier said.
