P. v. Rico
In March 2005, Defendant Robert Rico entered pleas of no contest to felony possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code 11377), misdemeanor threats of violence (Pen. Code 422) and misdemeanor violation of restraining orders (Pen. Code 166, subd. (c)(1)). Imposition of sentence was suspended for three years and he was placed on formal probation with a jail sentence and numerous terms including that he obey all laws, not use or possess alcohol or other drugs, submit to alcohol/narcotic tests, complete a domestic violence program, and stay away from and not annoy or disturb the peace of the family victims. The original charges arose out of an incident on November 17, 2004, when defendant came to the home of his estranged wife in violation of a restraining order, kicking and banging on the front door and threatening to kill her if she did not let him in. He attempted to open a bedroom window but left in his vehicle when he became aware that the victim was telephoning the police. Defendant was stopped in his car nearby and during his arrest, methamphetamine was found in a small bag in his pants pocket. The judgment is affirmed.
