P. v. Kessee
Defendant Abe Kessee was arrested for being an illegal passenger on a Union Pacific train and throwing a lighted flare from the train, causing a grass fire. He waived his right to a preliminary hearing and pleaded no contest to one count of maliciously setting fire to, burning or causing to be burned any property (Pen. Code, 451, subd. (d); further undesignated references are to this code) in exchange for dismissal of all remaining charges subject to a Harvey[1]waiver and a promise of no immediate state prison. The court placed defendant on three years probation and ordered that he serve 90 days in county jail. Defendant was awarded 61 days of presentence custody credit and ordered to pay various fees and fines, including a $200 restitution fine ( 1202.4, subd. (b)), a $200 probation revocation fine ( 1202.44), stayed pending successful completion of probation, a $20 court security fee ( 1465.8), and a monthly fee of $20 for probation services.
