P. v. Jones
Defendant and appellant Aiesha Latrice Jones pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property (Pen. Code, § 496, subd. (a)), and was placed on three years’ probation. The court also imposed a restitution fine of $200 and a probation revocation restitution fine, the latter of which was stayed unless probation was revoked. (Pen. Code, §§ 1202.4, subd. (b), 1202.44.)
Some 20 months later, in April 2010, probation was ordered revoked and a bench warrant issued. Shortly thereafter, a misdemeanor complaint was filed against appellant alleging a violation of Vehicle Code sections 23152, subdivision (a), and 23222, subdivision (b), as well as another resulting violation of probation. When appellant was eventually brought before the court in December 2012, she admitted an “obey all laws†violation and the trial court imposed a felony sentence of two years.[1] At this time the court also informed appellant that “[y]ou have to pay [a] $240 restitution fine.â€[2]
