Stolen Vehicle Recovered In Ione After Driver Tasered

slide4Monday afternoon the city of Ione some saw excitement in the form of a law enforcement action. According to Ione Police Chief Bob Olson, a broken down motorist at the Chevron station attracted the attention of the Ione Police Department when he attempted to obtain a ride from another patron of the station by jumping in their car and demanding a ride. The local resident declined to give the subject the ride and contacted the Ione Police Department. Ultimately, the subject reentered the vehicle that he had been driving. Upon arrival of the Ione Police Department on scene the subject was identified as Nai Saecho of Sacramento. Saeho became non-compliant with the requests of law enforcement and after a check of the vehicle the Amador County Sheriff’s department, Sutter Creek Police Department and the California Highway Patrol all arrived for a mutual aid action. The uncooperative subject was tasered by Sgt. Garret Anderson of the Ione Police Department and taken into custody. Saecho was subsequently identified as a suspect in a burglary in the Sacramento area and the car that he was driving identified as stolen.
