Combs

On May 10, 1983, an information was filed in Tulare County Superior Court alleging that defendant, Sherry Elaine Combs, had committed three felony violations of the Health and Safety Code. Count I charged manufacture of phencyclidine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379.5), count II possession of phencyclidine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378.5), and count HI possession of cocaine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11350). The information contained various enhancing allegations which were subsequently stricken.

Defendant filed an unsuccessful motion to suppress evidence pursuant to Penal Code section 1538.5, which was heard by the Honorable Kenneth E. Conn. Thereafter she was tried by a jury before the Honorable N. O. Bradley, was convicted of all three counts, and was subsequently sentenced to state prison.
