State v. BentzNo. 20120345

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Rustin Bentz appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm, terrorizing, and carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle. On appeal, he argues the trial evidence was insufficient to support his terrorizing conviction. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
