DUBLIN — Just six days after filing a felony shank possession case against a Santa Rita Jail inmate, prosecutor dismissed it, court records show.
The defendant, listed in court records as a 23-year-old Dublin resident because he’s serving a yearlong sentence in the jail, was charged on Dec. 2 with custodial possession of a weapon. At a Dec. 8 court appearance, prosecutors dismissed the charge, according to court filings.
The man was serving a sentence for false imprisonment on Nov. 27, when a deputy allegedly found a sharpened toothbrush stashed in his sock, during a search. The man allegedly told investigators he possessed the deadly weapon for “self-defense.”
A minute order for the December court hearing says prosecutors filed an oral motion to dismiss the case “in the interests of justice.” The man’s yearlong jail sentence is subject to a potential 50 percent reduction for good behavior behind bars, court records show.
