In re P.F. CA4/2
Xavier Becerra, Attorney General, Gerald A. Engler, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Julie L. Garland, Assistant Attorney General, Collette C. Cavalier and Adrian R. Contreras, Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
A Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition alleged that defendant and appellant P.F. (minor) evaded a peace officer while driving in willful and wanton disregard for safety, a felony. (Veh. Code, § 2800.2, subd. (a), count 1.) On a motion by the People, the court reduced the allegation to a misdemeanor. Minor admitted the allegation as true. Following a contested disposition hearing, a juvenile court declared minor a ward and placed him on formal probation in the custody of his mother, under specified terms and conditions.
On appeal, minor contends that the court abused its discretion when it declared him a ward of the court and imposed formal probation without properly considering nonwardship probation. We affirm.
