D.C.C. v. State

OPINION

MATTINGLY, Judge.

D.C.C. appeals his adjudication as a delinquent child for carrying a handgun without a license, a Class A misdemeanor when committed by an adult. He raises a single issue on appeal: whether the evidence was sufficient to support the trial court’s finding of delinquency when a handgun was found under the seat where the defendant was a passenger; the gun was far enough back under the seat that it could not be seen by the passenger in that seat; and there was no evidence the defendant ever had the gun on his person.

We reverse and remand.
