Approximately a week and a half ago, deputies responded to Granite Bay for reports of a suspect attempting to enter someone’s home. Upon arrival, they made contact with 37-year-old Jeremy Ahmed in the neighborhood where the reporting party was located. Initially providing a false name to deputies, Ahmed was subsequently discovered to have two outstanding warrants out of Sacramento. Furthermore, deputies found a set of keys on Ahmed that belonged to a vehicle reported stolen and parked near the reporting party’s house.
Following the investigation, Ahmed was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, providing false information to law enforcement, possession of drug paraphernalia, and the outstanding warrants from Sacramento. Great work by all deputies involved in handling this call.
