STATEMENT OF FACTS
This appeal does not raise any challenge to the factual basis for the revocation of
probation or the calculation of the sentence. Accordingly, we will only briefly
summarize the facts from the two underlying cases and the facts relevant to the four
probation violations admitted by appellant.
Case No. SCD247273
The first offense in this case occurred on December 23, 2012. Arevalo and a
juvenile were involved in stealing a purse from an 86-year-old woman. The woman was
knocked down in the process.
Arevalo and the juvenile fled in Arevalo's Jeep. Several citizens tried to stop him,
but Arevalo was able to get away. He was arrested on January 23, 2013. At that time
police were aware that Arevalo was a member of the Linda Vista Trece street gang.
While Arevalo was in custody on the robbery charges, he assaulted a deputy
sheriff in the jail.
Case No. SCD245795
On January 21, 2013, Arevalo and two other gang members assaulted Taurino
Flores-Sanchez at a food truck. Arevalo and his fellow gang members punched the
victim multiple times. Arevalo stabbed the victim four times with a small metal awl.
