P. v. Vitorelo CA1/2
About 1:00 a.m. on the morning of November 14, 2015, police officers heard sounds of an argument coming from a parking lot in San Rafael. After entering the lot, the officers interviewed several persons who told them appellant possessed a gun. The officers detained appellant, who had exited the driver’s seat of a vehicle and was walking away, and searched his vehicle, finding a handgun loaded with a single bullet in the glove compartment.
The Marin County District Attorney charged appellant with carrying a concealed firearm within a vehicle without being the registered owner (Pen. Code, § 25400, subds. (a)(1) and (c)(6)), and appellant pleaded guilty to the charge pursuant to a negotiated disposition. The court reduced the conviction to a misdemeanor (§ 17, subd. (b)) and sentenced appellant to informal probation for three years.
