Description
JOHNSON, J. - This case involves the issue of the proper remedy for an untimely amendment of an information. Pearl Dallas (hereafter "Kandi") was charged in juvenile court with third degree possession of stolen property. At the conclusion of its case, the State moved to amend the stolen property count to third degree theft. The trial court granted the motion and found Dallas guilty. On appeal, the State conceded the amendment was improper. The Court of Appeals vacated the theft conviction and remanded without prejudice to the State's right to refile. Dallas appealed to this court, arguing the dismissal should have been with prejudice. We agree and reverse.
