Amador County Sheriff’s Department SWAT Unit Sees More Action
Amador County SWAT was again called into action on
Monday afternoon when SWAT officers from two county agencies, Amador and El Dorado Counties, surrounded a home searching for a
parolee at large Monday afternoon. Lt. Kevin House, spokesman for
the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department, said officials were looking for
Kevin Beam, a man well-known to law enforcement. Amador County and El
Dorado County SWAT teams began a search for Beam around 2 p.m. Monday. House
said Beam, of Georgetown, had been involved in a fight earlier in the day. Officials believed he was in a
home in the 2000 block of Salmon Falls Road. Around 4:20 p.m. SWAT officers
fired a "percussion grenade" into the residence, hoping to draw Beam
out, if he was indeed in the home. Officials believe he may have fled the area and could be
driving a black sport utility vehicle. Anyone with information as to his
whereabouts are asked to contact the El Dorado Sheriff Department at (530)
621-6600.
