In re Jacob S.
Jacob S. was placed on nonwardship probation for possessing a knife on school grounds. (Pen. Code, § 626.10, subd. (a)(1); Welf. & Inst. Code, § 725, subd. (a).) He contends the court should have suppressed the knife because it was discovered during an unlawful detention. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 700.1.) Alternatively, he maintains he did not possess the knife on school grounds because his possession occurred in a car parked on a road adjacent to school property. We conclude that Jacob was lawfully detained and that his possession of the knife occurred on school grounds because “school†is statutorily defined to include “any public right-of-way situated immediately adjacent to school property.†(Pen. Code, § 626, subd. (a)(4).) We shall affirm the jurisdictional and dispositional orders.
