In re B.Y. CA2/6
During an argument at their home, fourteen-year-old B.Y. threatened his brother with violent injury while they were standing in close proximity. B.Y. seized an 18-inch long metal pole and raised it to strike, but his stepfather pinned his arms to prevent contact. It was an incipient battery sufficient to sustain an assault charge. The juvenile court found that the metal pole could be used to inflict great bodily injury.
