Mental-health worker gets one year for robberies
POMONA -- A San Bernardino County mental health specialist has been sentenced to one year in jail after pleading no contest to three counts of armed home-invasion robbery.
Rachel Lorraine Davis, 39, of Phelan, was one of four people charged with the Sept. 9 crimes in Los Angeles County.
In addition to the jail time, Davis will be placed on probation for three years as part of the plea bargain reached Wednesday with prosecutors in Pomona Superior Court.
According to the criminal complaint, Davis has prior felony convictions from the 1990s in San Bernardino County for receiving stolen property, possession of drugs, possession of drugs for sale, and forgery.
She was placed on unpaid administrative leave from her county job following her arrest on Sept. 9 at a county clinic in Ontario.
This is outrageous--a convicted felon working for the County as a mental health specialist! Most public entities have a screening process that would not allow that to happen.
