P. v. Silva CA1/4
The Mendocino County district attorney charged Ryan Porter Silva with assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)) and felony vandalism (Pen. Code, § 594, subd. (b)(1)), together with enhancement allegations that he had suffered a strike prior for arson (Pen. Code, §§ 1170.12, 667) and served a prior prison term (Pen. Code, § 667.5 subd. (b)).
These charges arose out of an incident in which Rebecca Larue told police that Silva had kicked her in the stomach, hit her with a baseball bat, and then fled, only to return a short time later while she was in her trailer. When Silva returned, Larue heard the sound of breaking glass outside the trailer. She then went outside and discovered her car windows had been broken and the trailer had been damaged.
Silva pled no contest to the vandalism count with the prison prior enhancement, on stipulation that he would waive all presentence credits.
