STATE of North Carolina v. Willie Ray RUFFIN.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

July 19, 1988.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. Lacy H. Thornburg by Asst. Atty. Gen. Thomas G. Meacham, Jr., Raleigh, for the State.

Thomas R. Sallenger, Wilson, for defendant-appellant.

We disagree.
