In re Humberto J.
A petition was filed, alleging that Humberto J., a minor (15 years old at the time of the jurisdictional hearing), came within the provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code section 602. The petition alleged that on May 7, 2006, the minor violated Penal Code section 12020, subdivision (a)(4) (unlawful carrying of a concealed dirk or dagger), a felony. A second count was later added, namely, the malicious defacing of property ( 594, subd. (a)(1)), a misdemeanor. The minor moved to suppress evidence relative to the felony charge. The court denied the motion, and the minor thereafter admitted the concealed weapon charge and that he had violated probation; the misdemeanor count was dismissed. The court ordered that the minor remain a ward of the juvenile court. Court conclude that the court did not err in admitting the challenged evidence at the hearing on the motion to suppress. Court therefore affirm the judgment.
