P. v. Bowman CA3
Pursuant to a negotiated disposition, defendant Jeremy Adam Bowman pleaded no contest to driving in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property while fleeing from a pursuing police officer (Veh. Code, § 2800.2) and admitted a prior strike for robbery. As part of the plea agreement, defendant entered into a Cruz waiver, meaning that if he failed to appear for sentencing the trial court could sentence him to an increased term. It was agreed that defendant would remain free from custody pending sentencing and, if he appeared for sentencing as scheduled, the strike admission would be stricken. Defendant complied with the Cruz waiver and the trial court sentenced him to the upper term of three years in state prison.
