Originally charged by complaint, defendant was held to answer after a preliminary hearing on October 10, 2018. The District Attorney of Merced County filed an information charging defendant with failing to reregister as a sex offender upon becoming transient (Pen. Code, § 290.011, subd. (b); count 1) and misdemeanor resisting a public peace officer (§ 148, subd. (a)(1); count 2). As to count 1, the information alleged two prior “strike” convictions within the meaning of the “Three Strikes” law (§§ 667, subds. (b)–(i), 1170.12, subds.
