C.H. v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
22A-JV-1089
Juvenile. Reverses C.H.’s commitment to the Indiana Department of Correction after he was adjudicated as a delinquent child for admitting to committing what would be, if committed by an adult, Level 6 felony theft of a firearm, Class A misdemeanor carrying a handgun without a license, Class C misdemeanor operating without a license and Class C infraction speeding. Finds the Gibson Circuit Court abused its discretion by sending C.H. to the DOC because that placement was not appropriate under the circumstances. Remands for the trial court to order a suspended DOC commitment and probation.
