In re J.C.
The minor, J.C., appeals from the juvenile court’s dispositional order placing him on probation after finding that the minor committed vandalism (Pen. Code, § 594, subds. (a) & (b)(1))[1] and that he resisted, delayed, or obstructed a peace officer (§ 148, subd. (a)(1)).
On appeal, the minor contends: (1) there was insufficient evidence to sustain the juvenile court’s finding that he resisted, delayed, or obstructed a peace officer; (2) the juvenile court’s oral findings reflect it misunderstood the law; (3) the juvenile court failed to exercise its discretion to declare the vandalism count a felony or misdemeanor; and (4) there was insufficient evidence to sustain the juvenile court’s finding that the minor had the ability to pay a $154 fine imposed pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 730.5.
We will remand the matter for a determination of whether the vandalism count is a felony or a misdemeanor and whether the minor has the ability to pay the $154 fine. In all other respects, we will affirm the judgment.
