Youth 18 Committed to California Youth Authority
In San Pedro an 18 year old, Augustine Gomez Jr, was ordered Tuesday to the California Youth Authority on a narcotics possession charge. Deputy Public Defender Ray Cullum had blocked such a commitment in August arguing teens often face harsher punishments than adults for similar offenses. A supplementary probation report indicated Gomez would likely have received probation with a short jail term if over 21. Gomez was arrested May 26 in San Pedro with a shoe box containing marijuana.
