The wife of Corporal Michael Paredes, his two sisters and their attorneys said they sent a claim to probation officials Tuesday
, Nov. 29, accusing them of failing to heed multiple warnings that Justin Flores had returned to using drugs, had obtained a gun and recently had beaten his girlfriend.
Mark Peacock, an attorney for the Paredes family, said those reports should have led to Flores’ probation being revoked.According to the claim, Flores’ first conviction was for vehicle theft in 2009. Over the next two years, he was convicted of drug possession, a misdemeanor hit-and-run, resisting arrest and burglary. From 2011 to around 2019, Flores was convicted of a string of minor drivers license violations, but no charges for violent crimes.
A strike for gun possession could have gotten Flores up to three years in jail. But even with the strike enhancement, it’s not clear exactly how long of a sentence prosecutors would have been able to get if they had offered Flores a plea deal, as they did at the time, allowing him to plead “no contest.”
