P. v. Bishop CA4/2
One day, defendant Kenoth Raymond Bishop started acting aggressively toward people at his apartment complex; he tried to punch a neighbor, and he shoved the apartment manager. The police were called. One officer spotted defendant and ordered him to stop. He replied, “Come and get me. I will bash your fucking head in.” Then he walked into his apartment.
As a result, a jury found defendant guilty of:
Count 1: Resisting an executive officer by means of threat or violence. (Pen. Code, § 69.)
Counts 2 and 3: Battery. (Pen. Code, § 242.)
Count 4: Resisting a peace officer. (Pen. Code, § 148, subd. (a)(1).)
The trial court sentenced defendant to three years in jail on count 1; it also sentenced him to 180 days on counts 2 and 3 and one year on count 4, all to be served concurrently. It then suspended this sentence and placed defendant on formal probation for three years.
