P. v. Jones CA4/2
Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant and appellant Leonzer Dell Jones, Jr., pled no contest to possession of a controlled substance for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378). Defendant also admitted he had suffered one prior strike conviction (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)) and one prior prison term (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). In return, the remaining charges and allegations were dismissed. The trial court imposed and suspended a seven-year prison sentence, and placed defendant on probation for a period of three years on various terms and conditions, including serving 210 days in county jail and participation in a drug rehabilitation program.
After defendant violated several terms of his probation, the trial court terminated defendant’s probation and sentenced defendant to the previously suspended seven-year prison sentence, despite the probation officer recommending defendant be given another chance at probation.
