P. v. Washington CA4/1
Following the denial of her motion to suppress (Pen. Code, § 1538.5), Jennifer Washington pled no contest to one count of bringing contraband into a prison (§ 4573, subd (a)). Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Washington on three years formal probation, subject to various conditions. One such condition was that she serve 180 days, either in jail, or in a home detention monitoring program.
On appeal, Washington contends that the trial court erred in denying her motion to suppress. Specifically, she argues that her initial detention by a correctional officer while she was visiting a prison was unlawful, and that her subsequent admission to the officer that she possessed contraband was involuntary. In addition, Washington maintains that the prosecution failed to prove that she consented to a search pursuant to which a correctional officer obtained contraband from her person. We affirm the judgment.
