Supreme Court of North Carolina January 27, 1981, 86 (State v. Elam)

HUSKINS, Justice.

Defendant, for the first time in the Court of Appeals, argued that G.S. 14-202.1 is unconstitutional. The constitutionality of the statute was not raised in the trial court, and the Court of Appeals therefore declined to discuss the merits of the constitutional arguments, citing

State v. Cumber,

280 N.C. 127, 185 S.E.2d 141 (1971), and

Bland v. City of Wilmington,

278 N.C.
