In re Alan B.
In April 2011, then 14‑year‑old Alan B. walked into a drug store, took four candy bars from a shelf, concealed the candy bars in his pants, and walked out of the store without paying for the candy bars. Alan was immediately confronted by a security guard who had seen Alan steal the candy bars and asked Alan to return to the store. Alan started to run away and the security guard gave chase. As the security guard got close to Alan, Alan threw the skateboard that he had been carrying; the skateboard struck the security guard in the head. The juvenile court found Alan had committed one count of robbery and one count of aggravated assault as alleged in a juvenile dependency petition (the petition), sustained the petition, and declared Alan a ward of the court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602.
