P. v. Manning CA2/1
In 1981, Robert Manning suffered two separate misdemeanor convictions for each of which he was sentenced to a few months in jail and granted probation. From 1987 to 2012, he suffered seven felony convictions for drug and firearms offenses, and served seven separate prison terms. On February 15, 2012, he was arrested for possession of methamphetamine for sale. (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378.) On September 16, 2012, while the possession charge was pending, he was arrested for felony evading a police officer in a reckless manner. (Veh. Code, § 2800.2, subd. (a).) Manning was convicted on that charge and served almost two years in prison, while his possession charge was abated. After his release, Manning pleaded no contest to the possession charge and was sentenced to five years in prison. The trial court suspended the sentence and ordered Manning to serve three years of probation.
