In re Gary S. CA2/4
Gary S. appeals from order denying a motion to suppress evidence and declaring appellant a ward of the court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 upon a finding that he committed misdemeanor possession of a firearm by a minor (Pen. Code, § 29610). He was placed on home of probation in the home of his mother.
The evidence at the adjudication hearing established that around 12:45 a.m. on May 24, 2021, two officers with the Los Angeles Police Department were driving on patrol when one officer saw a male teenager, later identified as Joseph R., standing on the sidewalk next to a parked car. The car’s front passenger door was open, and four or five people were sitting inside the car. The officer noticed Joseph R. because he was wearing a backpack and holding what appeared to be a nitrous oxide tank.
The officers approached Joseph R. and the parked car. Appellant and the other individuals inside the car were seen attempting to conceal open containers of alcohol.
