In re C.C.
On June 7, 2011, the Riverside County District Attorney filed a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition, alleging that appellant and defendant C.C. (minor) committed battery. (Pen. Code, § 242.) On June 22, 2011, the district attorney filed a second petition alleging that minor committed misdemeanor vandalism, causing damage of $400 or more. (Pen. Code, § 594, subd. (b).) Minor admitted the allegations in both petitions. The juvenile court placed him on probation, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 725, subdivision (a), in his mother’s home. One of his probation conditions prohibited him from possessing graffiti/scribing instruments, including ink markers. Subsequently, the district attorney filed a third petition alleging that minor possessed a felt tip marker or other marking substance with the intent to commit vandalism and graffiti. (Pen. Code, § 594.2.)[1] After a contested hearing, the court found the allegation true and placed minor on probation for six months and continued him in his mother’s custody. The court ordered him to pay several restitution fines, including a $500 fine for the damage done to a mailbox in connection with the June 22, 2011 petition.
On appeal, minor contends: (1) there was insufficient evidence to support the court’s true finding that he possessed permanent markers with the intent to commit vandalism or graffiti; and (2) there was insufficient evidence to support the $500 restitution fine. We affirm.
