THE PEOPLE, D086035
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v. (Super. Ct. No. SCD304119)
BREEANA ZENQUIS,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County,
Steven E. Stone, Judge. Affirmed as modified.
Annie Fraser, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for
Defendant and Appellant.
Rob Bonta, Attorney General, Charles C. Ragland, Chief Assistant
Attorney General, Arlene A. Sevidal, Assistant Attorney General,
Christopher P. Beesley and Connor O. Sakati, Deputy Attorneys General,
for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Breeana Zenquis appeals from a judgment after a jury convicted her
of battery with serious bodily injury and assault by means likely to produce
great bodily injury. She argues there is insufficient evidence to support the
conviction for assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. She
further argues, and the People concede, that the probation order should be
modified to reflect the trial court’s oral rulings at sentencing. We conclude
that sufficient evidence supports the conviction for assault by means likely to
produce great bodily injury. We also accept the People’s concession as to the
probation order and modify it accordingly. As so modified, we affirm the
judgment.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
In June 2024, Ann G. was visiting San Diego with her three children.
On their last day, they drove to Point Loma for fish tacos before their flight
home. The parking lot was crowded. After Ann pulled into a parking spot,
Zenquis stopped her truck behind her and accused Ann of stealing her spot.
Zenquis yelled, “If you stay here, you better be ready for a fight, you fucking
white bitch.”
After parking a few spots away, Zenquis approached Ann’s car again on
foot. She knocked on Ann’s window, tried to open the door, and yelled, “If you
stay here, you better be ready for a fight. You know I wanted this spot.” Ann
told Zenquis she did not want to fight over a parking spot. Zenquis walked
away.
Ann and her children got out of the car. Zenquis then returned and
continued yelling at Ann. She threatened to key their rental car while they
were having lunch.
Ann was standing by the driver’s door of her car in a narrow space
between parked vehicles. Zenquis approached and “shoulder checked” Ann,
causing her to fall backwards against the car. Ann pushed Zenquis back to
create space for herself. Zenquis then hit Ann in the head, grabbed her hair,
yanked it backwards, and spun Ann around twice while pulling her into the
2
parking lot. Ann could feel her hair “ripping and breaking” and “pulling on
the scalp.” Zenquis was behind her and Ann could not see anything. Zenquis
then let go of Ann’s hair and punched her in the face with a closed fist. Ann
described it as “one big punch” to her left eyebrow. Ann started bleeding
profusely from a laceration to her eyebrow. Her sunglasses and cell phone
went flying into the parking lot. Ann felt nauseous and was trying not to
pass out in front of her children.
Zenquis left the scene driving her truck with a female passenger.
Ann went to the emergency room, where she received four stitches to
the cut above
