A Placerville couple was nearly run over while trying to divert traffic accessing the Red Hawk Casino through their neighborhood, according to an El Dorado County Sheriff's Department report released this week.

Sheriff's deputies arrested Victor Marino Garibay, 40, of Placerville, last week on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly trying to strike Michele Ann King and her husband, Jason Matthew King, with his vehicle.

However, according to the El Dorado County District Attorney's Office the DA has declined to seek charges against Garibay and he has been released.

Michele King told deputies that she and her husband were trying to turn around cars that were traveling through their neighborhood, trying to find the casino the night of Jan. 22. night. They were stopping vehicles on Buck Mountain Road at Grassy Run Road and had parked their vehicles strategically so that any westbound vehicle on Buck Mountain would have to weave between their vehicles, according to the report.

The report doesn't indicate it, but it appears the road in question is one of the many private roads in El Dorado County.

The Kings were standing in the middle of the road when they noticed a green Jeep Cherokee accelerating towards them.

Michele King said she signal to it with her flashlight, but it continued to accelerate and drive directly at her, the report said. She jumped out of the way as the vehicle passed within a few feet of her, the report said.
