FACTS
Because the matter was resolved by plea, our statement of facts is taken from the probation officer’s report and the prosecutor’s statement of factual basis for the plea. On October 29, 2013, Ian Wallace met with defendant and Antwan Gilliam for the purpose of selling defendant two pounds of marijuana for $2,400. Gilliam was a codefendant at trial. He is not a party to this appeal. Wallace and his small dog entered Gilliam’s car to complete the transaction. But instead of tendering payment defendant pointed a semiautomatic handgun at Wallace and said they were stealing the marijuana. Defendant used the gun to strike Wallace’s face while Gilliam used his fist for the same purpose. Defendant gathered Wallace’s marijuana, keys, and cellular telephone. Defendant and Gilliam pulled Wallace from the car, forced him to the ground, and fled with the dog still in the car. The next day, Wallace reported the robbery to the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies located Gilliam at his residence where they recovered the dog and several items stolen from Wallace. Several months later, on May 2, 2014, defendant was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant.
