VISTA —- Former Escondido Planning Commissioner Bruce Quick pleaded guilty Monday morning to felony charges involving methamphetamine and fraud, and agreed to a sentence of one year in jail.

Quick was arrested May 25 of last year after Escondido police pulled him over and said they found him under the influence of methamphetamine.

After interviewing Quick, police searched his commercial landscape irrigation company and found what they have said was a methamphetamine lab, four guns and some false identification cards.

Quick faced more than 60 charges related to drugs and identity theft. He plead guilty to three felonies on Tuesday, including manufacturing methamphetamine, obtaining false identification, and burglary for trying to use fake identification to buy goods at a Wal-Mart store.

Quick said Monday he will choose start his jail sentence early, on May 13. Formal sentencing is set for May 31.

With time served, Quick could be out of jail in less than seven months, attorneys said.
