Opinion
Jackson, J.
INTRODUCTION
Miguel H. appeals from an order sustaining a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 after the juvenile court found he possessed tools to commit vandalism or graffiti (Pen. Code, § 594.2, subd. (a); count 2 ) and possessed etching cream/aerosol paint container with intent to deface (§ 594.1, subd. (e)(1); count 3). The court placed appellant in the care, custody, and control of the probation department subject to a previous order for community camp placement.
On appeal, appellant challenges the court’s finding that he violated section 594.1 by possessing items in a public place with the intent to deface. He also contends the juvenile court failed to calculate his maximum period of confinement or to determine that section 654 barred multiple punishment on the two counts. We agree that the case must be remanded for calculation of appellant’s maximum period of confinement and to determine the effect of section 654. In all other respects, we affirm the order.
