Jackson, CA…A few weeks ago one our deputies was called to Walmart to investigate a report of a stolen bicycle. We met with Michael Johnson and learned he lives on a fixed income and his bicycle was his only mode of transportation. Through the investigation our deputy identified the suspect that stole the bicycle, found him, and obtained his confession to the crime. Sadly, the bicycle was not recovered leaving Michael without reliable transportation.

The members of the Amador County Deputy Sheriff’s Association came together wanting to help Michael. Yesterday, Michael was presented with a new bicycle, helmet, and a lock to keep his new bike safe. Michael is a hard-working man, with a great heart, and he can often be found riding his bicycle throughout our community.

The Amador County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the members of the Amador County Deputy Sheriff’s Association and Jackson Family Sports for their generosity and ongoing commitment to helping those in need.
