Three adults and a teenage girl are facing criminal charges after allegedly assaulting and kidnapping a 22-year-old man Monday at a gas station in Cameron Park.
El Dorado County Sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a stabbing in progress at the Valero Gas Station on Cameron Park Drive at 3:45 p.m. When the deputies arrived, witnesses told them that the victim was forced into a vehicle and taken from the scene, according to a sheriff's news release.
Patrol deputies stopped the vehicle for a felony traffic stop on Greenstone Road and found the victim and four other people. An investigation revealed that the man had not been stabbed, but had allegedly been assaulted and kidnapped.
The man is not being identified because of threats to his well-being.
The man had allegedly been dating the 16-year-old Shingle Springs girl and also had allegedly stolen an electronic device from her, said Sgt. Bryan Golmitz.
"They pulled up to the gas station where they had prearranged a meeting," Golmitz said. "They grabbed the victim, roughed him up a little bit and pushed him into the backseat, got in the car and took off."
The man suffered minor bumps and bruises and refused medical treatment, Golmitz said.
Deputies recovered a plastic replica of a semi-automatic handgun and two pocket knives in the vehicle.
The three adults were arrested and are being held in the Placerville jail on at least $100,000 bail each, according to online jail booking information.
Despite one of the adults being a validated gang member, the incident was not gang related, he said.
Pedro Tayabe Olvera, 24, of Shingle Springs, was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, conspiracy to commit crime, driving on a suspended license and participating in a criminal street gang, the sheriff's department's Web site states.
Kawena Ula Kaluhiokalani, 20, of Diamond Springs, was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and conspiracy to commit crime.
Jacklyn April Calanchini, 20, of Cameron Park, was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and conspiracy to commit crime.
A 16-year-old Shingle Springs girl also was arrested, but it is not yet known what charges she may be facing.
