P. v. Molina CA5
On September 15, 2020, Chowchilla police responded to a report that two females were engaged in an altercation. When they arrived, defendant’s sister told a responding officer defendant was barricaded in the garage. After additional officers arrived and convinced defendant to leave the garage, defendant informed one of the officers that she had been sleeping in the garage when her sister started banging on the door. Defendant stated that when she opened the door, her sister punched her in the face. One officer noted he could smell alcohol on defendant’s breath at this time.
When officers talked to defendant’s sister, she told them that while the family was eating dinner, defendant was “stomping around and opening and closing doors violently.” After the sister’s daughter expressed a desire to leave, they stepped outside the house and noticed their car had been damaged. The damage to the car consisted of spray-painted obscenities and gang references.
