P.

FACTS

At the entry of plea hearing, the parties stipulated that the police reports contained

a factual basis for the plea. The police report, in pertinent part, states that on March 31,

2011, while conducting a patrol around the abandoned housing tracts at George Air Force

Base, deputies Vega and Snyder found defendant loading scrap metal into her vehicle.

She was taken into custody. After waiving her Miranda5 rights, defendant stated that she

had dropped her boyfriend, David Skaggs, off at the location around 8:00 a.m. She stated

that she left the location and returned around 2:00 p.m. to bring him food and to load the

materials that he had gathered into her vehicle. Skaggs left to collect scrap metal at

another location. Defendant used a pickax, a crowbar and other tools to “complete the

task,” and loaded the scrap metal into her vehicle. She admitted that she knew that her

actions constituted theft. She admitted that she had removed scrap metal from the

location before and had sold it for $80 to $100 each time. She had planned to sell the

material this time, and expected to receive the same amount for it.

The deputies were unable to locate Skaggs.
