The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office has filed charges against Linda Louise Briones (Age 32 of Fontana) for resisting an executive officer in Fontana.


CASE SYNOPSIS

On Friday, March 12, 2021, deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department responded to the 9000 block of Beech Avenue in Fontana regarding a report of a domestic violence incident. During the investigation, Linda Louise Briones was arrested.

After reviewing this case, our office has filed charges against Ms. Briones for violating the following sections of the California Penal Code:

Penal Code Section 243(c)(2) – Battery With Injury On A Peace Officer (Felony)
When the battery specified in paragraph (1) is committed against a peace officer engaged in the performance of his or her duties, whether on or off duty, including when the peace officer is in a police uniform and is concurrently performing the duties required of him or her as a peace officer while also employed in a private capacity as a part-time or casual private security guard or patrolman and the person committing the offense knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a peace officer engaged in the performance of his or her duties, the battery is punishable by a fine of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 for 16 months, or two or three years, or by both that fine and imprisonment.

Penal Code Section 69 – Resisting An Executive Officer (Felony)
(a) Every person who attempts, by means of any threat or violence, to deter or prevent an executive officer from performing any duty imposed upon the officer by law, or who knowingly resists, by the use of force or violence, the officer, in the performance of his or her duty, is punishable by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170, or in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
(b) The fact that a person takes a photograph or makes an audio or video recording of an executive officer, while the officer is in a public place or the person taking the photograph or making the recording is in a place he or she has the right to be, does not constitute, in and of itself, a violation of subdivision (a).
