A Santa Clarita man pleaded no contest and received a three-year  state prison sentence for domestic violence earlier this month.

Desmond Ramone Taylor, 29, of Canyon Country, was facing nine charges related to a series of domestic violence, including: three counts of misdemeanor battery; one felony count of injuring a spouse or cohabitant; dissuading a witness from reporting a crime; a misdemeanor charge of dissuading a witness from reporting a crime; a felony kidnapping charge; and two counts of misdemeanor contempt of court.

He was arrested around 2 a.m. on Aug. 7, according to Sheriff’s Department arrest records.

Taylor, who uses social media to promote music he’s made, decided to take a plea at the last minute, according to officials.

He was facing at least six years in state prison if convicted of the previous charges.
