1Opinion of the Court

Lee, Robert W., Associate Judge.

The appellant was adjudicated delinquent for the charge of burglary -with assault while armed. The appellant timely appeals the trial court’s decision, as well as three violation-of-probation petitions which have been consolidated into this appeal. Specifically, the appellant challenges the trial court’s determination that all the elements of the crime of assault were proven.
