P. v. Garcia CA2/8
The charges in this case arose out of an extended car chase. Louis Garcia was convicted of unlawful driving (Veh. Code, § 10851), evading a peace officer while driving recklessly (Veh. Code, § 2800.2), carrying a loaded firearm in public (Pen. Code, § 25850, subd. (a)), hit and run with property damage (Veh. Code, § 20002, subd. (a)), and firearm possession by a felon (Pen. Code, § 29800). The jury found true the allegations that Garcia had committed the crimes for the benefit of a criminal street gang with respect to the unlawful driving and firearm charges (Pen. Code, § 186.22, subd. (b)(1)). The trial court sentenced Garcia to eleven years, four months in prison.
On appeal, Garcia contends no substantial evidence supports (1) the unlawful driving conviction, (2) the firearm convictions, or (3) the gang allegations. We disagree and affirm.
