P. v. Velarde
In exchange for dismissal of other counts against him, defendant Martin Velarde, Jr., pled guilty to making criminal threats and cruelty to a child by inflicting injury and admitted a special allegation that he personally used a deadly weapon. After initially sentencing him to an aggregate prison term of three years, the trial court recalled defendants sentence and instead placed him on probation for four years subject to various terms and conditions, including that he refrain from the use or possession of alcohol, enroll in an in/out patient substance abuse treatment program, attend daily AA/NA meetings for 90 days (as directed by his probation officer or treatment staff), and reside in a clean and sober living environment as approved by his probation officer. The judgment is affirmed.
