In October 2025, an El Dorado County resident reported he had his mail stolen, to include a new credit card. An investigation was started, and Detectives identified a person of interest in the case named Matthew Henson. Through the subsequent investigation, Detectives learned that Henson had unlawfully charged thousands of dollars throughout El Dorado, Sacramento, and Amador counties with the stolen credit card. The investigating Detectives began to work with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in a cooperative investigation. Between the two agencies, search warrants were authored and served at multiple locations. As a result of the executed search warrants the following items were located:

-Fi****ms and ammunition
-Thousands of pieces of stolen mail
-Credit card embossing machines
-Fake driver's licenses
-Illegal mailbox keys
-License Plate covers

Henson was arrested for the following charges and booked into the El Dorado County Jail Placerville with a bail of $615,000.00.
-PC 530.5(a); Identity theft
-PC 487(a); Grand theft
-PC 484G; Illegal use of a credit card
-PC 29800(a)(1); Felon in possession of a firearm
-PC 30305(a)(1); Felon in possession of ammunition

The arrest of Henson serves as a reminder that the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office is dedicated to the tenents of our mission statement: "Total enforcement on crime and criminals" and "Total care for victims, witness, and the community".
