(a)(1), counts 2 & 3), unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a), count 4), and writing multiple checks with insufficient funds (Pen. Code, § 476a, subd. (a), count 5). As to counts 1 and 2, the information alleged that defendant personally inflicted great bodily injury within the meaning of Penal Code section 12022.7, subdivision (a).[1] Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant pled no contest to counts 2 and 4, in exchange for a three-year state prison term and the dismissal of the remaining counts and allegations.
