Supreme Court of California

In a dispute involving the proper criminal classification for defendant's submission of a false report to a deputy sheriff, stating that her vehicle had been stolen, felony conviction of defendant is reversed where the Legislature intended that defendant's conduct be prosecuted as a misdemeanor under Vehicle Code section 10501 and not under the more general, felony statute.
