P. v. Sanchez CA2/8
On September 15, 2015, defendant and appellant Hector Montiel Sanchez was charged by information with one count of theft (Pen. Code, § 484e, subd. (d)). It was also alleged defendant had suffered four prison priors (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The charges were based on defendant’s unlawful possession of an access card belonging to another individual (a California EBT card issued to an unrelated female). The access card was discovered in defendant’s pocket during a patdown search following his detention by Long Beach police officer Gabriel Betanzos. Defendant was observed by the officer committing a misdemeanor in a public location, and was a known member of the East Side Longo gang, subject to a gang injunction applicable to that location.
