P. v. Barker
Narcotics task force agents executed a search warrant at the home of defendant Forrest Mitchell Barker and found 56 one-gram bindles of methamphetamine, 2.5 grams of marijuana, a loaded rifle, chemicals used for manufacturing methamphetamine, and laboratory equipment. His wife admitted helping defendant manufacture methamphetamine. Defendant entered a negotiated plea of no contest to manufacturing methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, 11379.6, subd. (a)) and admitted being armed during the offense (Pen. Code, 12022, subd. (a)(1)). (Case No. CM021891.) While defendant was released on his own recognizance pending sentencing in case No. CM021891, agents lawfully searched his home and found glass smoking pipes, drug paraphernalia, items used to manufacture methamphetamine, and a small amount of methamphetamine in a plastic baggie. Defendant entered a negotiated plea of no contest to providing a place for the preparing or storing of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, 11366.5, subd. (a)). (Case No. CM022973.) The judgment is affirmed.
