El Dorado sheriff's officials arrested three people and recovered four stolen guns after a bizarre incident on Zandonnella Road near Diamond Springs.
A resident picking up litter was stopped by the passenger of a red Honda automobile and asked if he had seen a black box. The resident said no and refused to let the man look through the trash bag because he didn't want the trash spread around.
The car continued down the road then returned, with a female driver maneuvering her vehicle into the victim's path. The victim said the car even struck him before the car's passenger jumped out and hit the victim with his fists.
The attacker then pulled out a long screwdriver and hit the victim, while the car's driver went through the trash.
Placerville police later stopped the car based on the victim's description and El Dorado Sheriff's deputies arrested the woman driving, Fantasia Stockton (above, left) 23, of Cedar Grove.
Police then went to an address on Combo Court where they arrested Rustin Charnock (above, center), 28, of Cedar Grove, and Jeffery Young (above, right), 29, of Placerville. At that home, deputies found four guns taken in a Pollock Pines burglary two days earlier.
Stockton and Charnock were charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Charnock and Young were charged with possession of stolen property.
In addition, Stockton was charged with possession of a controlled substance and Charnock was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and parole violation.
No explanation was given for the missing black box.
