N.C.P.I.—Crim. 222.70
TRESPASS TO LAND ON A MOTORIZED ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE. MISDEMEANOR.
The defendant has been charged with Trespass to Land on a
Motorized All Terrain Vehicle1.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt.
First, that the defendant operated a motorized all terrain vehicle.
And Second, that the defendant operated the motorized all terrain
vehicle [on private property now owned by the defendant without written
consent of the owner2] [within the banks of a [stream] [waterway]3 and
[without the consent of the owner] [outside the restrictions imposed by
the owner]].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant operated a motorized all terrain
vehicle [on private property not owned by the defendant and without
written consent of the owner] [within the banks of a [stream] [waterway]
and [without consent of the owner] [was outside the restrictions imposed
by the owner]] 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.
