P. v. Mendes CA3
Defendant shoplifted from a store, punched one of the store employees in the jaw, and took the victim’s employee badge. In case No. 18CF03572 (572), defendant pleaded guilty to one count of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211). Subsequently, defendant failed to appear for sentencing while out on bail. In case No. 20CF00924 (924), defendant pleaded guilty to one count of felony failure to appear (§ 1320.5).
On November 19, 2020, while in custody, defendant consumed jail-manufactured alcohol and was placed in a sobering cell, where he subsequently blocked a deputy from leaving and hit a second deputy in the face. Pending sentencing in case Nos. 572 and 924, defendant was charged in case No. 20CF05871 (871) with resisting an executive officer, a felony (§ 69, subd. (a)). The robbery conviction in 572 was alleged as a prior strike conviction under sections 667, subdivision (d), and 1170.12, subdivision (b).
