P. v. Connolly CA3
The People’s May 11, 2021, complaint charged defendant Ryan Joseph Connolly with driving a car on the highway in the opposite direction of traffic during flight from a peace officer (count one) and driving with disregard for the safety of people or property while fleeing from a pursuing peace officer (count two).
On July 29, 2021, defendant pled no contest to count one, and in exchange, the trial court dismissed the remaining count and sentenced defendant to two years of formal probation, including the condition that he serve 165 days in county jail with credit for 165 days. The court also imposed a $300 restitution fine, a $40 court operations assessment fee, and a $30 conviction assessment fee.
The factual basis for defendant’s plea was that “[o]n May 7th, 2021, in the County of Sacramento, law enforcement conducted or attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the Defendant for driving a vehicle without license plates.
