FACTUAL AND
PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
In
October 2011, then 13-year-old minor stole a golf cart from the Moreno Valley
Ranch Golf Club and drove off with it.
When a deputy observed the golf cart being driven by minor, the deputy
attempted to stop him. However, minor
continued to drive, and eventually jumped out of the golf cart. A pursuit ensued. Minor eventually was apprehended and admitted
to stealing golf carts on prior occasions.
On

minor ran away from his group home and was placed in another home in October
2012. Less than a month later, minor ran
away from that group home without permission and his whereabouts were
unknown.
On
October 25, 2012, a
Welfare and Institutions Code section 777 petition was filed alleging that
minor had violated his wardship by running away from his court-ordered
placement.
