P. v. Wilkerson CA4/2
Defendant and appellant John Howard Wilkerson fled officers in his vehicle as they attempted to stop him for running a stop sign and a high-speed chase ensued through residential areas. Following a jury trial, defendant was convicted of evading a peace officer with wanton and willful disregard for the safety of persons and property (Veh. Code, § 2800.2, subd. (a); count 5). In a bifurcated proceeding, pursuant to a negotiated disposition, defendant admitted that he had suffered one prior strike conviction (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)) and four prior prison terms (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)). In return, the remaining prior conviction allegations were dismissed.
