Defendant Angel Placencia receives 2-year deferred adjudication, $800 fine; judge offers military early-termination option
Summary
In Bexar County, Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted a plea from Angel Placencia to a lesser included offense of unlawfully carrying a weapon, imposed two years of deferred adjudication with an $800 fine (probated), and told the defendant she would consider early termination of probation if he signs up for the military.
Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted the plea and deferred-adjudication application of Angel Placencia in the case State v. Angel Placencia.
At the hearing, the court determined the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived a jury and the other rights described in the admonishments. The State proceeded on the lesser-included offense of unlawfully carrying a weapon, a Class A misdemeanor, and recommended an $800 fine with deferred adjudication. Boyd accepted the agreement and ordered two years of deferred adjudication, an $800 fine (probated), 80 hours of community-service restitution (waivable if the defendant obtains a CDL or trade certification), random UAs, a gun-safety course, and no contact with San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) properties.
The judge discussed employment and military service with Placencia and told him that if he signs paperwork and is accepted into the military, she will "terminate him" early so the enlistment is not blocked. "If you are in the military and this is holding you back and he signs the paperwork to go to the military, I'll terminate him," Boyd told Placencia.
The court also ordered reporting requirements, random drug testing and proof of employment within 30 days. The plea and sentence included standard admonishments about waiving the right to appeal and the consequences of deferred adjudication revocation.
Placencia acknowledged and signed the plea documents and the court deferred a finding of guilt while entering the conditions described on the record.
