Zhorne reportedly saw the vehicle make a right turn on Fair Oaks Avenue. Zhorne then drove left around Owens and began to make a right turn onto Fair Oaks Avenue. Zhorne heard a loud smash at the rear of his vehicle and saw that the driver side rear window was broken. Zhorne then saw a hatchet in Owens’ right hand as she began walking east across Fair Oaks Avenue and Mountain Street.
Zhorne made a U-turn and began following Owens as he telephoned the police department to report the incident. Zhorne followed Owens as she walked east on the south sidewalk of Mountain Street and south on the west sidewalk of Raymond Avenue. Zhorne reportedly saw Owens walk into 881 N. Raymond Avenue and out of sight. Zhorne saw a police unit and notified Officer Allen of Owens location.
I saw that the passenger side rear window to Zhorne’s vehicle was smashed open. I took a photo of the damage (see attached photo).
I arrested Owens for PC 594(b)(1)-Vandalism. Sergeant Villalovos approved the arrest. Officer Cass and I transported Owens to the Pasadena City Jail for booking. Upon our arrival, I read Owens her rights per Miranda from a department issued card.

    The Miranda warnings stem from a United States Court’s decision in the case, Miranda v. Arizona. There are two basic conditions that must be met for Miranda warnings to be required: the suspect must be in official police custody and the suspect must be under interrogation. The suspect goes through a booking process after an arrest. The suspect will have a bond hearing shortly after the completion of the booking process or after arraignment. The arraignment is the suspect’s first court appearance to officially hear the charges filed against him or her and to enter a plea. The preliminary hearing or grand jury proceeding determines if there is substantial evidence for the suspect to be tried for the crime charged. In this essay, I will identify and describe at least four rights afforded criminal defendants at the arrest stage and during pretrial. I will analyze the facts presented and other relevant factors in the scenario provided. I will cite legal authority to support my conclusions.

I am discussing this topic because, one it is useful to me as a police officer, two they can be very difficult to understand, and three if they are not read properly to you when you are placed under an arrest it could actually get you off. I will start off by discussing the history and some details of the Miranda case.
