William Thomas Graham was indicted on one count of possession of cocaine and one count of possession of more than an ounce of marijuana. He was tried by a jury jointly with a co-defendant, Allen Betsill, and he was found guilty on both counts.1 His motion for new trial was denied, and he appeals, alleging that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions and that the trial court erred in charging the jury. Finding no error, we affirm.

1. Construed to support the jury’s verdict, the evidence presented at trial showed that at about 9:30 p.m. on March 18, 1997, Officer Allen Hastings of the Riverdale Police Department was on patrol when he observed a dark colored pickup truck pull in behind some businesses. Because the businesses were closed, Hastings’s suspicions were aroused. He pulled in behind the truck without activating his emergency lights, and saw Graham leave the truck.
