In re Joseph C.
Following an adjudication hearing, the juvenile court found that Joseph C. (the Minor) had committed the felony offense of possessing a concealed dirk or dagger (Pen. Code, § 21310), two misdemeanor offenses of violating curfew (San Diego Mun. Code, § 58.0102, subd. (A)) and one infraction for loitering (San Diego Mun. Code, § 58.05, subd. (b)(1)).
At the disposition hearing the court determined the maximum custody was three years. The court took custody of the Minor under Welfare and Institutions Code 726, subdivision (a), and imposed, but stayed a commitment to the Short Term Offender Program.[1] Based on the lack of sufficient information the court set the dagger offense as a felony, subject to a defense motion to reduce it to a misdemeanor. No such motion is in this record.
