A 34-year-old man is being held on more than $2 million bail in connection to a domestic violence incident in Placerville earlier this month.

Silvino Fuentes of Placerville was arrested last week on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, violation of parole, and a no-bail immigration hold. He is being held in El Dorado County Jail and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.

Fuentes is alleged to have been involved in a domestic violence incident on Newton Road in Placerville Sept. 7. Fuentes fled the scene before El Dorado County Sheriff's deputies arrived, Sgt. Bryan Golmitz said in a news release.

Witnesses told deputies that Fuentes was armed with a gun. Deputies and Placerville police searched the area, but did not locate Fuentes, he said.

Deputies received information on Sept. 17 from a citizen who had information that Fuentes might have been in Solano County. He was arrested by Solano County Sheriff's deputies the same day, Golmitz said.
