It is with profound sadness that the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office informs our community of the loss of Correctional Officer Ryan Marietti.

In the early morning hours of August 28, 2026, Ryan was involved in a solo-vehicle accident on Highway 50 near Strawberry, CA. This tragic accident took the life of a member of our Sheriff’s Office family and a valued member of our community.

Ryan began his career with the Sheriff’s Office in December of 2024, serving at both the Placerville and South Lake Tahoe Jails. Among his many attributes, Ryan demonstrated a strong work ethic, professionalism, and a genuine desire to grow within the Sheriff’s Office. He had set his sights on advancing through the ranks and building a career in service to our community.

Prior to his employment with the Sheriff’s Office, Ryan was a member of the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office Explorer Post 457, where he excelled and proudly represented the Post as a member of its competition team. Ryan was also an alumnus of Ponderosa High School, graduating in 2023.

Ryan will be greatly missed—not only by his family and friends, but by his EDSO family and the community he proudly chose to serve.

Ryan Marietti, J2258, always speak his name.

🚜 STOLEN EQUIPMENT RECOVERED IN EL DORADO COUNTY

A stolen Case backhoe has been recovered, and an additional stolen skid steer was also located during the investigation.

The Case backhoe was reported stolen and later spotted by its owner being offered for sale online. The owner recognized the equipment, confirmed it was theirs, and provided valuable information to CHP that helped lead to its recovery.

During the investigation, CHP also located the stolen skid steer on the same property.

While the California Highway Patrol is best known for keeping California’s highways safe, our mission extends well beyond the roadway. CHP officers and investigators throughout California investigate a wide range of property crimes, including vehicle and equipment theft, and work to recover stolen property and hold those responsible accountable.

We’re grateful to the owner for staying alert and taking the time to report what they saw. If you recognize your stolen property or see something suspicious, contact law enforcement. Your information can make a difference.
