In re G.A.
G.A. appeals from the order of wardship (Welf. & Inst. Code, 602) entered following the juvenile courts determination that he committed battery on a school employee (Pen. Code, 243.6), committed vandalism causing less than $400 in damage (Pen. Code, 594, subd. (a)), and resisted a peace officer (Pen. Code, 148, subd. (a)(1)). All three crimes were declared to be misdemeanors. The petition arose as the result of a May 1, 2007 incident in which 13-year-old G.A. struggled with a Youth Service Worker and a Baldwin Park School District Officer who had been summoned to G.A.s residence to take him to school. The juvenile court ordered G.A. to serve 20 days in juvenile hall, but awarded him 20 days credit for time served; accordingly, at the hearing it placed him home on probation. It also imposed a $50 restitution fine. Although the juvenile court did not state, at the hearing, that it was imposing a maximum term of confinement, the courts minute order reflects a maximum confinement period of one year, four months.
