P. v. Dillard
On March 6, 2007, Los Angeles Police Officers Carter Fenstemacher and Andre Plummer saw Eula Montellano walk toward a Cadillac sitting at a stop sign. Fenstemacher and Plummer were sitting directly behind the Cadillac in an unmarked car. The Cadillac was driven by a man while appellant, Vickie Marcia Dillard, sat in the passenger seat. After speaking to the occupants of the Cadillac, Montellano signaled to the Cadillac that it should move forward by waving her arms. The Cadillac then drove about 50 yards north and parked. Fenstemacher and Plummer followed the Cadillac. After appellant exited the Cadillac, Montellano walked up to appellant and gave her some money. Appellant then reached into her waistband and pulled out several small, off-white solid objects. Appellant and Montellano then walked down a driveway out of the officers sight. A few seconds later, Montellano walked out of the driveway holding an off-white object in her hand. The officers arrested Montellano as she exited the driveway and found rock cocaine and a crack pipe on Montellanos person. Montellano had no money on her. The judgment is affirmed with directions that the abstract of judgment be corrected to reflect that appellant was sentenced to the midterm of four years for the count of selling a controlled substance.
