P. v. Ketchum
Suspecting that defendant Johnny Lee Ketchum was the parolee-at-large for whom they were looking, police stopped his car and directed defendant to keep his hands up. Defendant resisted and tried escape. Officers seized and searched him, finding a loaded .38 caliber handgun in his possession.
Defendant entered a negotiated plea of no contest to being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm (Pen. Code 12021; further section references are to this code), admitted he had a prior serious felony conviction ( 667, subds. (b)-(i)), and stipulated to the imposition of a term of six years in prison (the upper term of three years, doubled due to the prior serious felony conviction) in exchange for the dismissal of other charges, including a second prior conviction allegation. The judgment is affirmed.
