P. v. Urrutia CA4/1
Defendant Oscar Urrutia went on a rampage against a married couple and their home in Spring Valley on August 24, 2017, for no apparent reason. Defendant was ranting, yelling, and throwing rocks at them. The husband described Urrutia as "off-the-wall crazy talking." Urrutia said a helicopter flying overhead was trying to kill him, and "they'd been trying to kill him since he was young." He also talked about aliens. He kicked and threw rocks at their garage door, causing more than $400 worth of damage to the door. A jury found Urrutia not guilty of making criminal threats and convicted him of felony vandalism. (Pen. Code, § 594, subds. (a), (b)(1).) On January 4, 2018, the trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Urrutia on felony probation for three years on various terms and conditions.
