In the Matter of D.L.D., 203 N.C. App. 434 (2010)
Held:
Affirmed
The trial court did not err in admitting the school resource officer’s (SRO’s) testimony about the identification of the marijuana, its approximate street value, and the common practice of drug dealers to possess both cash and drugs because it was based on personal experience and was helpful to the trial court in deciding whether the marijuana was for sale, where the juvenile was found in possession of $59 and three small bags containing what the SRO identified as marijuana worth $20 each.
