A jury convicted Jeffrey J. Wheeler of criminal damage to property in the first degree OCGA § 16-7-22 a, possession of less than one ounce of marijuana OCGA § 16-13-30 a, and possession of a sawed-off shotgun OCGA § 16-11-122. Wheeler appeals, contending i that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions of possession of less than one ounce of marijuana and possession of a sawed-off shotgun, and ii the trial court erred in refusing to instruct the jury on lesser included offenses. Discerning no error, we affirm. Viewed in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdict, Cox v. State , 300 Ga. App. 109 684 SE2d 147 2009, the evidence shows that at approximately 12:45 a.m. on September 26, 1993, Jennifer Langley was awake in her bedroom when she heard what appeared to be several gunshots “hitting the side of her trailer and going through like it had been shot.” When she looked out her window, Langley saw a silver El Camino leaving the trailer park and recognized it as Wheeler’s vehicle. Crawling on her hands and knees to her parents’ room, Langley screamed that someone had fired a bullet through the trailer. Langley’s mother, Pamela Harris, immediately called 911. Harris told the responding officer that Wheeler drove a silver El Camino and provided the officer with Wheeler’s address in Buford.
When Gwinnett County police officers thereafter responded to Wheeler’s residence and knocked on the front door, Wheeler’s father appeared at a side door, followed by Wheeler. An El Camino, matching the description provided by Langley, was parked outside the residence. The engine was still ticking as if it had just been turned off, and the hood was hot. The investigating detective observed a .22 caliber shell casing in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, which he later retrieved. Following his initial investigation, the detective left Wheeler’s residence and went to the scene at Harris’s residence. During his investigation of the scene, the detective observed that a bullet had entered and exited the bathroom, passing through four separate areas of the trailer. Nine spent .22 shell casings were scattered in the street in front of Harris’s residence.
