Following a bench trial in the Superior Court of Richmond County, Lyndon Ephariam Carr was found guilty of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. He appeals and claims that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress and that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict. Because a review of Carr’s claims shows them to be without merit, we affirm. Evidence adduced at the hearing on Carr’s motion to suppress shows that a reliable confidential informant “CI” provided information to Investigator G. Meagher with the Narcotics Division of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office that a man named “Tony Pascal,” a man identified as “Jabbar,” and other unnamed individuals were selling marijuana and cocaine from the TNT Grocery Store located at 1029 11th Street in Augusta. Meagher testified at the suppression hearing that, I had received information that marijuana and cocaine were being sold from this grocery store; that Tony Pascal, who was the owner, was using this location where he and his crew of people were selling drugs out of his store.

Rollins, and three other Sheriff’s Office narcotics officers executed the warrant. Upon the officers’ entry into the TNT Grocery Store, Tony Pascal and another unknown male were observed behind the store counter; appellant Lyndon Carr was seated at a small table in the store. Sergeant Rollins testified that, as he walked toward Carr,
