P. v. Jenkins
About 1:00 oclock on the afternoon of April 28, 2008, J.B. (the victim) noticed that a bag of motorcycle equipment and some other items were missing from the patio at his home in Mira Loma. About the same time, the victim saw defendant and Anthony Ocasio (Ocasio), walking westward along a road that runs beside a drainage ditch behind his property. The two were carrying a bed sheet, hammock-style, between them. To the victim, they appeared to be acting a little suspicious. The victim grabbed a golf club and drove to a nearby park, through which the road and the drainage ditch run, to intercept the two men. After confronting them, the victim asked them what they were doing and pulled aside the bed sheet where he saw his motorcycle bag. The bag contained three pairs of boots, a helmet, gloves, and goggles. At that point, the two men dropped the sheet and defendant began punching the victim, hitting him in the head about three times, while Ocasio grabbed the golf club and started swinging it at the victim. The victim was able to escape and called 911 on his cell phone. Defendant and Ocasio attempted to pick up the sheet with the stuff inside of it and [run] towards the southwest corner of the . . . park area. When the two men dropped the sheet and ran away, the victim saw that they had also stolen his computer monitor. On October 10, 2008, a jury found defendant guilty of robbery, petty theft, and burglary. (Pen. Code 211, count 1; 484 subd. (a), count 2; 459, count 3.)
