In September 2017, the High Risk Supervision Team attempted to locate 26-year-old Michael Valentine of Sonora to serve a probation search. Valentine was not located at that time but a search of his travel trailer was conducted. Dep. Bryan Lee was able to identify numerous items reported stolen from 8 different burglaries such as mail, check books, check making paper, check printing instructions, snow ski equipment, tools, electronics and many more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/TCSOLogo1-2014small_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/TCSOLogo1-2014small_thumb.jpg 200w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/TCSOLogo1-2014small_thumb-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/TCSOLogo1-2014small_thumb-30x30.jpg 30w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Deputy learned Valentine shared a storage unit with 27-year-old Travis Ashlock. A search of that unit produced additional items reported stolen from the burglaries. During the time of the investigation Valentine and Ashlock had been arrested for unrelated charges.<\/p>\n<p>DNA evidence from the scene of the crimes was processed by the Department of Justice. Several months later DNA results returned with a match for Michael Valentine and Travis Ashlock . The men who were already in custody, Valentine at the Tuolumne County Jail and Ashlock at a State Prison, will now be facing numerous charges relating to their crime spree.<\/p>\n<p>It is very satisfying for our deputies to be able to return the stolen property to their rightful owners and bring this case to a close.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sonora, CA&#8230;From the Tuolumne Sheriff&#8217;s Dept&#8230;&#8221;An ongoing investigation regarding a string of burglaries that occurred last year in Strawberry and Twain Harte, finally comes to an end.
