FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On September 17, 2014, defendant pled guilty to an interlineated count 5 charge of
felony vandalism. (Pen. Code, § 594, subd. (b)(1)). On the People’s motion, the court
dismissed counts 1 through 4. Pursuant to defendant’s plea agreement, the court
sentenced defendant to 36 months’ felony probation.
On September 23, 2014, a probation officer filed a petition for revocation of
defendant’s probation and request that a bench warrant issue for defendant’s arrest. The
probation officer alleged defendant had violated three conditions of his probation:
(1) term 3, defendant failed to report to his probation officer; (2) term 7, defendant failed
to keep the probation officer informed of defendant’s place of residence; and (3) term 21,
defendant had prohibited contact with the victim. The court preemptively revoked
defendant’s probation and issued a warrant for his arrest.
2 On September 27, 2014, officers arrested defendant in another matter. Defendant
eventually admitted two of the three alleged violations of the terms of his probation in
return for a 16 month term of incarceration on the initial felony vandalism conviction.
