In re M.M. CA6
Appellant M.M. admitted one count of attempted arson (Pen. Code, § 455, subd. (a)), as alleged in an amended Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition. M.M. repeatedly violated the terms of his juvenile probation and refused to be housed in juvenile hall. When M.M. was 18 years old, the juvenile court held a disposition hearing and committed M.M. to county jail for two years. M.M. argues, and the People concede, that the juvenile court improperly committed M.M. to county jail because that is not an approved placement option for a ward who commits his or her offense while under 18 years old. For the reasons stated here, we accept the People’s concession and will reverse the disposition order and remand for a new dispositional hearing.
