Flores Verduzco pleaded no contest to felony false imprisonment by violence and a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery. Five other charges were dropped as part of the plea deal, including injuring a spouse or cohabitant, assault likely to produce great bodily injury, battery upon a peace officer, resisting an executive officer, and resisting a peace officer or EMT.
In exchange for the no contest pleas on two of the seven charges, Flores Verduzco was sentenced to serve 90 days in county jail and be placed on four years of probation. He was ordered to have no contact with the victim for 10 years, relinquish all firearms, submit to search and seizure, abstain from alcohol and controlled substances, and complete 104 hours of domestic violence counseling.
