As of Saturday afternoon he was still in jail in Placerville on $250,000 bail.

These two arrests come after his initial DUI arrest on Dec. 8.  That incident occurred in South Lake Tahoe. At that time he was placed on paid administrative leave.

The latest two arrests – Feb. 25 and March 4 – were made by California Highway Patrol officers out of the Placerville office. According to CHP Sgt. Ryan Houdeshell, Broadfoot rolled his vehicle Feb. 25 on Highway 50 near Ice House Road. He was not injured. On March 4, it was also an accident, though Houseshell did not have the specifics. No one was injured. This occurred on South Shingle Road in Shingle Springs.

Sheriff’s Lt. Matt Underhill had no comment other than to say Broadfoot was on leave at the time of the latest DUIs.
