N.C.P.I.—Crim. 215.86B

NOTE WELL: Effective September 1, 1999, applying to

offenses committed on or after that date, this is a

Class H felony. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-69.2(c) also

provides that "[a]ny person who receives a second

conviction for a violation of the subsection within five

years of the first conviction for violation of this

subsection is guilty of a Class G felony."

The defendant has been charged with perpetrating a hoax by use of

a false bomb or other device in or at a public building.

For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense the State must

prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:

First, that the defendant [concealed] [placed] (or) [displayed] a

(describe device) in such a way as to cause another person to reasonably

believe that the device was a bomb or other device capable of causing

injury to persons or property.

Second, that the defendant did so [in] (or) [at] a public building.2

And Third, that the defendant did so with the intent to perpetrate a

hoax.

If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or

about the alleged date the defendant [concealed] [placed] (or)

[displayed] a (describe device) [in] (or) [at] a public building in such a

way as to cause another person reasonably to believe that it was a bomb

or other device capable of causing injury to persons or property with the

intent to

perpetrate a hoax, it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If

you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or both of these

things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
