P. v. Reynolds
Defendant Jarrett Wayne Reynolds violated a restraining order and threatened to kill his ex-wife. He then threatened to kill an investigating police officer. Appearing to be intoxicated, defendant also asked to speak with his daughter. He was charged with making criminal threats, threatening a police officer, and stalking. Defendant entered a negotiated plea of guilty to making criminal threats to his ex-wife (Pen. Code, 422). In accordance with the plea agreement, the imposition of judgment was suspended and he was placed on probation. Among the conditions of probation are defendant serve 365 days in jail, have no contact with his ex-wife and his daughter, and remain 100 yards from their person, residence, place of employment and school. If, however, defendant completes batterers treatment and anger management programs, he may seek visitation with his daughter only as outlined in a family law order rendered subsequent to the anger and batterers treatment completion dates.
In addition to the no contact condition of probation, the trial court issued a CRIMINAL PROTECTIVE ORDER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (Pen. Code, 1203.097) that precludes defendant from having any personal, electronic, telephonic, or written contact with his ex-wife and daughter and from being within 100 yards of them, except for the safe exchange of children for visitation as stated in a Family, Juvenile, or Probate court order issued after the date [of the protective order].
