Two photos taken from the dome in the historic Auburn courthouse. In the top, circa-1906 photo, you can see the Snowden house at the top of the frame. The Auburn historic courthouse was home to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office and the sheriff’s jail.

When completed in 1898, the courthouse replaced the brick jail and Sheriff’s Office on the same lot. It served as the sheriff’s office until 1941, when a new jail and office were built behind the historic courthouse. The first inmate booked in this “new” jail was George Smith of Roseville, for a term of vagrancy.

Today, the jail in the historic courthouse has been converted into a museum, but the Sheriff’s Office has been preserved and can still be visited as a glimpse into our golden legacy and part of our 175 year history of serving Placer County.

Twelve years ago today, Placer County Sheriff’s Detective Michael Davis Jr. responded to a call that would change our agency forever.

Earlier that day, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy Danny Oliver had been killed in a shooting. As the search for the suspects continued, an Auburn resident reported a suspicious vehicle occupied by a man and woman in a residential neighborhood.

Detective Davis and his partner responded alongside fellow Placer County deputies. As they exited their patrol vehicles, a suspect concealed in a carport opened fire with a r***e, striking Detective Davis and another deputy.

Detective Davis was transported to the hospital, where he died shortly after arriving at the emergency room. The suspect was taken into custody by the Sheriff’s Office tactical team later that day.

Detective Davis dedicated his career to serving others. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, mother, and brother.

In a poignant connection, Detective Davis’ father, Riverside County Sheriff’s Detective Michael Davis Sr., was also killed in the line of duty on October 24, 1988 - exactly 26 years to the day before his son.

Twelve years have passed, but the loss of Detective Davis remains deeply felt throughout our agency.

A suspect wanted in connection with an October 1 shooting in North Auburn was arrested in Berkeley Wednesday night, October 21, following an investigation by the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.

Crimes Against Persons Detectives identified the suspect as 25-year-old Leothurs Futch III, who was believed to be in the Bay Area. On Wednesday evening, Special Operations Detectives located Futch inside a vehicle in Berkeley and coordinated with the Berkeley Police Department to take him into custody.

Futch was arrested and booked into the Alameda County Jail on a felony Placer County Ramey warrant for Penal Code 246, willfully and maliciously discharging a fi***rm at an inhabited dwelling. He will be extradited to Placer County to face charges.

The arrest stems from an October 1 incident in the Colonial Village area of North Auburn, where a gunshot was fired into an occupied apartment. Deputies responded shortly after 1:20 a.m. and determined that no one had been struck by the gunfire. The investigation led to an extensive search involving the Placer County Sheriff’s Office and Auburn Police Department.

We applaud the diligent work of our detectives and their commitment to ensuring Futch was arrested.

Today, academy recruits and staff participated in a memorial run honoring Placer County Sheriff’s Office Detective Michael Davis Jr., who was killed in the line of duty on October 24, 2014. Led by the Sheriff’s Office guidon, recruits ran together in remembrance before gathering at his memorial to pay their respects.

Through every mile, every cadence and every step, recruits were reminded that some of the most important lessons of this profession cannot be taught in a classroom. Service, sacrifice, courage and commitment are values carried forward by those who came before us, and Detective Davis exemplified each of them.

As we train the next generation of deputies, we remain committed to honoring his memory and the memory of all those at the Placer County Sheriff’s Office who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their service will never be forgotten, and their example will continue to guide those who follow in their footsteps.

Detective Michael Davis Jr.’s watch may have ended, but his memory continues to inspire those who answer the call to serve.
