Text: Shortly after midnight on July 28, 1995, Barnett and his co-defendant, Kirby, unlawfully entered Jerry's Surplus (a business in Everett, Washington) and stole seven firearms. They left in a car moments before the police arrived and a chase ensued. Defendants' car was eventually cornered on a dead-end street and Barnett and Kirby fled on foot. A police dog quickly caught Barnett, who was bitten during a struggle with the dog. All the weapons stolen from Jerry's Surplus were found in the backseat of the car. Following a stipulated trial, Barnett was found guilty as charged of first degree burglary while armed with a deadly weapon. The trial court sentenced him to a total of 75 months, calculated by adding a 15-month sentence to the five-year enhancement for being armed during the crime mandated by RCW 9.94A.310(3)(a). The trial court also imposed a one year community placement sentence under RCW 9.94A.120(9)(a). Division One of the Court of Appeals affirmed Barnett's conviction but found that the facts of the case did not support the community placement. State v. Barnett, 91 Wn.App. 671, 676, 959 P.2d 691 (1998). The state and Barnett both petitioned for review. We denied Barnett's petition but granted the state's petition challenging the ruling of the Court of Appeals on the community placement issue. State v. Barnett, 137 Wn.2d 1008, 978 P.2d 1100 (1999).
