P. v. Gunning CA6
Defendant Joseph Benjamin Gunning pleaded guilty to felony vehicle theft (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)(1)) and misdemeanor flight from a pursuing peace officer (Veh. Code, § 2800.1, subd. (a)). He also admitted that he had a prior felony conviction that qualified as a “strike” (Pen. Code. §§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12). At sentencing, the trial court dismissed the prior strike allegation (see People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497), placed Gunning on probation for a term of three years, and ordered him to serve one year in the county jail.
