MONTEREY COUNTY — 26-year-old Latoya Chappelle has been sentenced to 2 years in county jail after violating the terms of her probation.
On April 30, 2014, Chappelle was stopped for a traffic violation and gave police her sister’s name instead of her own, even going so far as to sign her citation as such.
That June, Chappelle’s sister reported it to Monterey PD. A follow-up investigation, including review of DMV records and video footage, corroborated that Chappelle had indeed impersonated her sister.
As it turned out, she’d already plead no-contest to one count of false impersonation before, which earned her a 3-year sentence of formal felony probation in 2015.
Coupled with her failure to report to probation after departing a residential treatment facility in 2016, this incident marks her sixth “formally sustained violation of probation.”
