Before LINDSAY, VICTORY and WILLIAMS, JJ.


VICTORY, Judge.

Raymond Tate, found guilty of one charge of possessing cocaine, in violation of LSA-R.S. 40:967(F)(1), was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment at hard labor and fined $50,000. On appeal, he complains that the evidence adduced at trial was insufficient to support a conviction, that an evidentiary ruling made by the trial court was in error and that an excessive sentence was given.
