Statement of the Case
The District Attorney of San Mateo County charged Mark Anthony Bauer, the appellant, with six offenses. Count 1 alleged kidnapping (§ 207); 1 counts 2 and 3 alleged assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (a)(2)); count 4 charged possession of brass knuckles (§ 12020, subd. (a)); count 5 alleged false imprisonment (§ 236); and count 6 alleged burglary with the intent to kidnap (§ 459). In addition, counts 1, 2 and 3 included special allegations of personal use of a firearm, threat of great bodily harm, and furnishing a *940 firearm to another for the purpose of aiding and abetting a felony. (§§ 12022.5, 1203.06, subd. (a)(1), 12022.4.) Codefendant Norman Saunders was charged with the same crimes, but tried separately.
Appellant pleaded not guilty and denied the enhancement allegations. A jury found him guilty of false imprisonment and simple assault. The trial court granted the district attorney’s motion to dismiss the remaining counts. On January 4, 1988, the trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed appellant on probation for both counts.
