In the Matter of J.C., 205 N.C. App. 301 (2010)

A juvenile petition sufficiently alleged that the juvenile was delinquent for possession of a weapon on school grounds in violation of G.S. 14-269.2(d) where it alleged the juvenile possessed an “other weapon” specified as a “steel link from chain.” The court stated that “the item . . . is sufficiently equivalent to what the General Assembly intended to be recognized as ‘metallic knuckles’ under [the statute].” The court also characterized the juvenile’s argument that the box on the petition for “metallic knuckles” was not checked as the type of hyper technical scrutiny to which petitions and indictments should not be subjected.
