P. v. Runnels
On March 17, 2005, an amended information was filed by the Riverside County District Attorney, which charged defendant with one count of possession for sale of cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, S 11351.5) (count 1) and one count of sale/transportation of cocaine base (S 11352, subd.(a)) (count 2). Various prior convictions were also alleged within the meaning of section 11370.2, subdivision (a), along with five prior prison terms which were also alleged, within the meaning of Penal Code section 667.5.
On June 1, 2005, the trial court denied defendant's motion to suppress evidence (Pen. Code, S 1538.5). Thereafter, on April 12, 2006, defendant plead guilty to count 2, transportation of cocaine base (S11352, subd. (a)), admitted two of the section 11370.2, subdivision (a) allegations, and one prior prison term allegation. He was sentenced that day to the low term of three years, plus an additional three years for each of the two section 11370.2 enhancements, and one year for the prior prison term enhancement, for a total prison commitment of ten years. Defendant was awarded the appropriate custody credits and his sentence was ordered to run concurrent to any parole violation.
