On May 23, 2013, the jury found defendant guilty as charged. Thereafter, defendant admitted the truth of the prior prison term allegation.

On June 21, 2013, the trial court granted defendant five years’ probation on the condition that he serve 365 days in custody.

For the reasons set forth below, we shall affirm the conviction.
