P. v. Arch
This criminal matter arises out of an incident of petty vandalism that escalated into a physical struggle between defendant and appellant James Mickael Arch and several responding deputies from the San Bernardino County Sherriff’s Department. A jury convicted defendant of making criminal threats (Pen. Code,[1] § 422, subd. (a); count 1), resisting an executive officer (§ 69; count 2, Deputy Shaunna Ables), battery on a peace officer (§ 243, subd. (b); count 3, Deputy Ables), and vandalism (§ 594, subd. (a); count 6). The jury acquitted defendant of two additional charged counts of resisting an executive officer (§ 69, counts 4 (Deputy Ramon Lomeli) and 5 (Deputy Jesse Moon)), but in each case found defendant guilty of the lesser included charge of resisting a peace officer (§ 148, subd. (a)(1)). The trial court sentenced defendant to an aggregate term of three years eight months in prison.
