P. v. Sekerke
Keith Wayne Sekerke pleaded guilty to battery by a prisoner on a nonconfined person (Pen. Code, § 4501.5; count 1)[1] and possession of a deadly weapon by a prisoner (§ 4502, subd. (a); count 2). At sentencing, the court suspended execution of a stipulated five-year prison term,[2] ordered Sekerke to serve 365 days in jail, imposed fines and placed Sekerke on formal probation for three years. Sekerke's probation officer subsequently arrested him for violating the conditions of his probation. After a hearing, the court revoked Sekerke's probation and executed the previously stayed prison sentence.
On appeal Sekerke challenges the trial court's finding that he failed to complete a program of drug treatment and aftercare as directed by his probation officer, contending that the meaning of "complete" is ambiguous. We affirm the order.
