29-year-old Pedro Juan Elizondo of Greenfield, was sentenced to 13 years in prison on Friday, June 22 for domestic violence incidents last year with his girlfriend. Elizondo has a long criminal history including a “strike” under California’s “Three Strikes Law”. This doubled the prison term he would have otherwise received. Two of the four charges he pled guilty to in the current case are also “strikes” for future purposes.
From June 18 through June 20 of 2017 Elizondo and his
girlfriend Jane Doe, were fighting at various locations. Elizondo’s girlfriend
and her sister had a system where she could use a code word to alert her sister
if she was in trouble. At some point during these dates her family became
concerned about her and contacted her at which time the code word was used. The
sister, who was able to locate Elizondo’s girlfriend, had a confrontation with
Elizondo who then made criminal threats against her. The girlfriend’s family
then contacted law enforcement who tracked down the victim to a motel in King
City where she and Elizondo were found in a motel room. When officers arrived,
she asked for assistance and described being punched, hit, threatened and
having a knife placed against her.
