GREENFIELD — A Monterey County jury found Erik Sanchez, 52, of Greenfield, guilty of battery on June 30.
After the jury returned a guilty verdict, Sanchez pleaded no contest to two other open cases for violating the terms of a protective order, vandalism and resisting arrest. He also admitted a violation of his terms of probation in another case.
On May 19, Sanchez was taken to the Monterey County Jail for booking following his violation of a protective order.
“While being held for booking, he attacked another person in the holding cell, grabbing and punching the victim. The entire incident was captured on surveillance video in the jail,” according to the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office.
Sanchez was sentenced on July 2, where he faced a maximum sentence of just under three years on all cases.
