P. v. Rutherford
Defendant Billy Joe Rutherford was arrested in his motel room after police responded to a telephone call from the motel manager who smelled marijuana coming from inside the room.[1] The police found defendant in the room with his companions, his one-year-old son, more than 97 grams of methamphetamine, and $1,500 in cash. Weapons, pay-owe sheets and scales were seized in defendants room and in his truck.
Facing multiple charges and enhancements, defendant entered a guilty plea to transportation of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, 11379, subd. (a)), and admitted two prior prison term enhancements (Pen. Code, 667.5, subd. (b)), as well as an allegation that he was presumptively ineligible for probation. The judgment is affirmed.
