State v. Billinger, 213 N.C. App. 249 (Jul. 5, 2011)

There was sufficient evidence to establish that the defendant constructively possessed a weapon of mass death and destruction. Following law from other jurisdictions, the court held that “constructive possession may be established by evidence showing the defendant’s ownership of the contraband.” Because the evidence showed that the defendant owned the sawed-off shotgun at issue, it was sufficient to show possession of a weapon of mass death and destruction.
