P. v. Rice CA3
In February 2020, the trial court found defendant violated probation and mandatory supervision in connection with two prior felonies—forcible assault in 2016 (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(4); statutory section citations that follow are to the Penal Code) and possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell in 2018 (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378)—and issued bench warrants for defendant’s arrest. Officers obtained a warrant to search defendant’s home. Upon seeing defendant leave his home and drive away in his car, officers stopped him and found a loaded, unregistered firearm under the driver’s seat. Passengers in the car stated the gun belonged to defendant. In defendant’s home, officers found soft body armor, ammunition, small quantities of drugs, drug paraphernalia, and a digital scale.
