Man pleads guilty to aggravated robbery; judge sentences him to concurrent prison terms and $2,000 fine
Summary
Joe Anthony Jimenez pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and unlawful carrying of a weapon with a prior conviction. The court accepted his plea, found an enhancement true and an affirmative deadly-weapon finding, and sentenced him to concurrent terms of 15 and 10 years plus a $2,000 fine with credit for time served.
Joe Anthony Jimenez pleaded guilty in Bexar County criminal court and was sentenced on counts charging aggravated robbery and unlawfully carrying a weapon with a prior conviction. Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted the plea, found the enhancement allegation true, made an affirmative deadly-weapon finding and imposed concurrent sentences of 15 years on count one and 10 years on count two, plus a $2,000 fine and credit for time served.
The court said the state had complied with discovery before accepting the plea. Court paperwork shows the plea included an enhancement paragraph; after reviewing the stipulated exhibits the judge found sufficient evidence to accept the plea and to find the enhancement true. The court announced that counts one and two would run concurrently and an affirmative deadly-weapon finding would be entered.
Defense counsel acknowledged the plea and the court asked whether the defendant waived a presentence investigation; the transcript records the defendant waiving a PSI. The judge also noted the defendant’s continuous custody entry date and ordered credit for time served back to May 12, 2022, after the prosecutor confirmed the defendant had been in custody since that date.
The judge warned about the consequences of the plea and urged the defendant to consider the life impact of his choices, saying, "Was a beer worth 15 years of your life?" The court concluded by entering judgment, imposing the sentence described above and imposing the $2,000 fine. The transcript indicates the judgment was marked satisfied after sentencing.
The court record also reflects the presence of a related federal case and that the defendant had previously entered federal custody; the prosecutor told the court the defendant had a federal sentence of 70 months and had been in continuous custody since May 12, 2022, which the judge accounted for in calculating credit for time served.
No post-sentencing motions or other follow-up orders were recorded in the portion of the transcript provided.
