P. v. Bojorquez
On November 27, 2008, Fresno police officers went to a Travelodge motel in Fresno on a report of a suspicious vehicle. The vehicle was covered with a thin coat of light brown mud and had been reported stolen on November 20, 2008. After the motel manager reported there were two people trespassing in a vacant room, the officers went to the room and found appellant, Ricardo Pedro Bojorquez, and his girlfriend, Ronica Padilla, in the room. Both were covered with the same light brown colored mud as the car. Paperwork belonging to Padilla was found in the car.
Bojorquez provided a false name and birth date. As he was being handcuffed and escorted to a patrol car, Bojorquez broke free and attempted to flee. He fell to the ground causing an officer to fall on top of him. Bojorquez moved his head up and struck the officer on the eye causing a large bruise and swelling. On December 2, 2008, the district attorney filed a complaint charging Bojorquez with receiving stolen property (count 1/Pen. Code, 496d, subd. (a)),[1]battery on a police officer (count 2/ 243, subd. (c)(2)), resisting an executive officer (count 3/ 69), providing false information to a police officer ( 148.9, subd. (a)), and five prior prison term enhancements ( 667.5, subd. (b)).
