Ramiro Garcia was recently ordered to serve a 12-30 month prison term on a category C felony charge of conspiracy to possess or control a dangerous weapon by an incarcerated person.
The potential penalties to the felony include one to five years in prison, up to a $10,000 fine with eligibility for probation.
Garcia pleaded no contest to the felony in a hearing on February 9, for the incident which occurred in late 2020.
In December 2020, Garcia was ordered to serve a 19-48 month prison sentence and 364-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to a category B felony conspiracy to commit robbery charge and a gross misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon charge.
The plea negotiations in Garcia’s most recent felony case allowed Garcia’s attorney and the District Attorney to recommend that he be ordered to serve a minimum term of prison, to run concurrently with his other prison sentence ordered in December.
Garcia’s attorney explained that when Garcia was admitted into the jail on a probation violation, there was a shiv in his jail cell that remained there while he was in custody, which initiated the felony charge when discovered by officers.
Sixth Judicial District Court Judge Michael Montero sentenced Garcia to 12-30 months in prison with no credit for time served, to run concurrently with his other prison sentence.
Garcia was also ordered to pay a $250 public defender fee, $25 administrative assessment fee and $3 DNA collection fee.
