The El Dorado County Sheriff says hes not happy with the U.S. Forest Service, so hes stripping them of their authority by keeping them from enforcing state law within the county.
Sheriff John DAgostini is taking the unusual step of pulling the police powers from the federal agency because he says he has received numerous, numerous complaints.
In a letter obtained by CBS13, the sheriff informs the federal agency that its officers will no longer be able to enforce California state law anywhere in his county.
I take the service that we provide to the citizens of El Dorado County and the visitors to El Dorado County very seriously, and the style and manner of service we provide, DAgostini said. The U.S. Forest Service, after many attempts and given many opportunities, has failed to meet that standard.
