Juvenile Law: Delinquency First-Degree Harassment-Sufficiency of Evidence

Where a juvenile brought a replica toy gun to school and showed it to a classmate who thought it was real and the juvenile threatened to shoot the classmate if he told anyone, there was sufficient evidence to find that the juvenile committed first-degree harassment and to support the adjudication of delinquency.

Judgment is affirmed.
