September 23, 2005.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Peter D. Johnson, Augusta, for Appellant.

Daniel J. Craig, District Attorney, Charles R. Sheppard, Assistant District Attorney, for Appellee.


RUFFIN, Chief Judge.

A jury found Norval Patten guilty of possessing marijuana with intent to distribute and trafficking in cocaine. Patten appeals, and for reasons that follow, we reverse.

Viewed in a light most favorable to the jury's verdict, the evidence shows that in April 2001, law enforcement officers were informed by UPS that a suspicious package had been shipped from California to Augusta, Georgia.
