State of Indiana v. Emareion T Jones

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court held that the charging information adequately pleaded both handgun offenses against Jones. Count II sufficiently identified the misdemeanor offense, and Count III sufficiently alleged the felony enhancement based on Jones's prior Texas felony convictions within fifteen years. The court further held that the trial court misapplied the reference statute and improperly dismissed Count III on constitutional grounds, so it reversed and remanded.
