P. v. O’Neill CA3
Defendant Neal O’Neill pleaded guilty to driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol and driving with a .08 percent or higher blood-alcohol level. Defendant also admitted he had suffered a prior serious or violent felony pursuant to Penal Code sections 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d) and 667, subdivisions (b) through (i), and served two separate prior prison terms following a felony conviction (§ 667.5, subd. (b)).
After being charged, but before entering his plea, defendant committed two DUI’s in Colorado. The Colorado court released him on work release. Meanwhile, when he missed a court appearance in this case, the court issued a bench warrant. When defendant returned to the Colorado authorities to report for his work service, he was taken into custody in Colorado and told he no longer qualified for work release in Colorado because of the bench warrant in this case.
