State v. Salter, ___ N.C. App. ___, 826 S.E.2d 803 (Apr. 2, 2019)
The trial court did not err by accepting the defendant’s stipulation that a prior conviction for “No Operator’s License” was a Class 2 Misdemeanor. In making this stipulation, the defendant stipulated that the facts underlying his conviction justify that classification. The trial court was under no duty to pursue further inquiry or require the defendant to recount the facts regarding the prior conviction.
