ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT

TAYLOR, Judge.

This case was remanded to this court by the ‍​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‍Alabama Supreme Court after a reversal of judgment with instructions that we review the same consistent with the Supreme Court opinion, 507 So.2d 544 (1986). Accordingly, the finding that the appellant ‍​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‍was a delinquent under § 12-15-71(c), Code of Alabama 1975, is hereby affirmed. According to the stipulation of the parties regarding possession of the pistol and the alcohol located in the vehicle ‍​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‍driven by Sellers, and the evidence, it is almost undisputed that the child, Sellers, was not in possession of these items. Accordingly, the judgments as to the underlying offenses ‍​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‍of violation of the prohibition law and possession of a pistol are hereby reversed and a judgment is rendered in the appellant’s favor, and the fines and sentences with ‍​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‍reference thereto are hereby vacated.
