P. v. Thomas
A jury convicted Ben Sullivan Thomas of two counts of vandalism over $400 and one count each of assault with a deadly weapon, making a criminal threat and false imprisonment by violence, menace, fraud, or deceit. It also found true the allegation that he used a deadly weapon. He later admitted that he had a prison prior conviction, a probation denial prior, a serious felony prior and a prior strike conviction. The trial court denied his motion to strike his prior strike conviction for purposes of sentencing.
