]]> Kris Jones was arrested just one day before his birthday in Huntington Beach, Orange County. During his arrest $700 was taken from him, which included birthday money from his family. Huntington Beach police arrested Jones on suspicion of: selling marijuana and possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell(Health and Safety Code Sections 11351, 11378). Jones later pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to serve three years of probation in addition to 90 days in jail.

Jones has now filed a claim against the city of Huntington Beach asking for the return of the $700 which was confiscated by police on the date of his arrest. Jones will soon go before a judge who will determine whether the money will be given back or not. Money that is part of evidence of the crime is unfortunately never returned and rather– permanently confiscated. Thus, it’s in one’s interest to have a criminal defense attorney prepare a written motion for the return of property and make an articulate argument in court to have a successful outcome in court.

Tornado Warning

Tuesday, January 19, 2010, the National Weather Service gave out a tornado warning for Orange County as thunderstorms headed in that direction. Several vehicle incidents were reported due to the severe weather conditions. Winds flipped over a car in Huntington Beach in Orange County and deputies had to push a stalled BMW SUV out of the water on the highway. Just south of Riverside County, road crews scraped mud off the roadway thereby closing Ortega Highway. Mud and debris were also blocking lanes at Trabuco Canyon Road. Indeed, drivers have some challenging conditions to deal with in this torrential downpour. Notably, drivers must modify their driving practices to reflect all driving conditions to include weather. Reckless driving (Vehicle Code Section 23103) can be a violation drivers get cited for in such weather conditions. Persons may be charged if driving in a “willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.” Punishment can be up to 90 days in jail, in addition to a maximum fine of $1,000. Drivers should take necessary precautions and drive according to road conditions in addition to posted speed limits.
