In re Jessie T.

OPINION

BROWN, Judge:

¶ 1 Jessie T. appeals the juvenile court’s delinquency adjudication finding that he committed animal cruelty in violation of Arizona Revised Statutes (“A.R.S.”) section 13-2910(A)(9) (subjecting an animal to cruel mistreatment), a class six felony. Because we conclude that the State failed to present sufficient evidence to support the court’s adjudication, we modify the adjudication to reflect that Jessie committed the lesser-included offense of inflicting unnecessary physical injury to any animal, a class one misdemeanor, in violation of A.R.S. § 13-2910(A)(3).
