In re A.O. CA1/5
Appellant A.O. was declared a dependent child of Solano County in 2019. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 300.) In 2020, the Merced County District Attorney filed a wardship petition in that county alleging appellant had committed the crimes of assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed dirk or dagger and resisting a peace officer. (§ 602; Pen. Code, §§ 245, subd. (a)(1), 21310, 148, subd, (a)(1).) The allegations were based on an incident in which appellant stabbed an employee of the group home where she was living with a fork, resisted the peace officers who responded to the altercation, and was discovered to be carrying scissors inside her waistband.
When a minor qualifies as both a dependent and a ward of the juvenile court, she cannot simultaneously be both. (§ 241.1; In re Marcus G. (1999) 73 Cal.App.4th 1008, 1012.)
