In State v. Little, 126 N.C. App. 262, 484 S.E.2d 835 (1997), prior to sentencing, the State obtained a superseding habitual felon indictment which changed one of the three felony convictions included in the prior habitual felon indictment. Id. at 269, 484 S.E.2d at 839. In Little, the change in the felony convictions was a substantive change in the indictment and, thus, altered an element of the offense. Id. at 269, 484 S.E.2d at 840.
