December 3, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. Lacy H. Thornburg by Asst. Atty. Gen. Sarah C. Young, Raleigh, for the State.

Appellate Defender Adam Stein by Asst. Appellate Defender Leland Q. Towns, Raleigh, for defendant.

Defendant argues one assignment of error that may be broken down into two separate contentions, both asserting defects in the trial court's jury charge: First, that the court submitted to the jury instructions on a misdemeanor crime that does not exist and second, that, if there does exist such a crime, the trial court's instructions to the jury erroneously omitted the essential element of the defendant's mens rea to commit the crime.
