P. v. Barron
A jury found defendant and appellant Mark Barron, guilty of carrying a loaded firearm in a public place while he was prohibited from carrying a firearm. (Former Pen. Code, § 12031, subd. (a)(2)(D) [eff. Jan. 2000].) The trial court sentenced defendant to prison for a term of one year, four months. Defendant raises three issues on appeal. First, defendant contends there is not substantial evidence that he was in a public place while carrying a firearm. Second, defendant contends the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence discovered and statements made after an officer trapped defendant and conducted an unlawful search and seizure. Third, defendant asserts the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress statements made after defendant’s Miranda[1] rights were violated. We affirm the judgment.
