P. v. Ison
Michael Osborn Ison (defendant) obtained two vehicles, a Mercedes Benz and a BMW, from CarMax without paying for them. He was convicted of two counts of grand theft auto (Pen. Code, § 487, subd. (d)(1)) and two counts of fraudulently obtaining property by false pretenses (Pen. Code, § 532, subd. (a)). With respect to a separate matter, defendant was also convicted of two counts of issuing insufficient funds checks (Pen. Code, § 476a, subd. (a)) payable to Steven Eckert. Defendant contends the court erred in admitting evidence that he issued an insufficient funds check (NSF check) to his landlady shortly before he issued the NSF checks to Eckert. He also argues the court erred in splitting the issuance of the NSF checks to Eckert into two separate offenses. We disagree and affirm.
