In California, the penalties for threatening someone and brandishing a weapon can be quite severe, especially for a gang member on parole.
Threatening an ex-girlfriend could be charged under various statutes, including criminal threats (Penal Code § 422), which can be a felony punishable by up to three years in state prison.
Brandishing a weapon is covered under Penal Code § 417. This offense is generally prosecuted as a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in county jail and fines of up to $1,000. However, if the weapon is brandished in certain circumstances, such as in the presence of a peace officer or on school grounds, it can be charged as a felony with penalties ranging from 16 months to three years in state prison.
Given the individual’s gang affiliation and parole status, additional penalties could apply, including enhancements for gang-related activities and potential parole violations.
