People v. Reynolds CA1/1

BACKGROUND

The 2019 and 2020 Cases In October 2019, the Mendocino County District Attorney charged defendant with a felony violation of resisting an officer by force or threat. (Pen. Code, § 69, subd. (a).)1 Defendant entered a no contest plea pursuant to a plea agreement. After she failed to appear for sentencing in that case, a second complaint alleging failure to appear after being released on her own recognizance was filed (§ 1320, subd. (b)), to which defendant also pled no contest and admitted the special allegation of being released on her own recognizance when the felony was committed (§ 12022.1). The court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on probation for three years in both cases. In the 2019 resisting an officer case, as a condition of probation the court ordered defendant to serve 37 days with credit for 19 days served. In the 2020 failure to appear case, the court ordered defendant to serve 92 days with credit for 46 days served. Three months later, the probation officer filed petitions alleging probation violations and failure to appear. Defendant admitted the violations, and the court revoked and reinstated probation.
