In re A.E.
A juvenile wardship petition (Welf. & Inst. Code,[1] 602, subd. (a)) was filed in the Superior Court of Tulare County alleging appellant A.E. (born 1990) committed count I, carrying a dirk or dagger (Pen. Code, 12020, subd. (a)(4)); count II, unlawful manufacture or possession of an instrument and weapon, a screwdriver (Pen. Code, 12020, subd. (a)(1)); and count III, participation in a criminal street gang (Pen. Code, 186.22, subd. (a)). After a contested jurisdictional hearing, the court found the three counts true. Appellant was declared a ward of the court and placed on probation subject to electronic monitoring at his parents house. On appeal, appellant contends his motion to suppress should have been granted because he was illegally detained and searched. He also contends the matter must be remanded because the juvenile court failed to consider his suitability for the deferred entry of judgment (DEJ) program and failed to declare whether the three offenses were felonies or misdemeanors.
