MAY, J.

The defendant appeals his conviction and sentence for possession of cocaine, the lesser included offense of trafficking possession of cocaine, and simple possession of cocaine. He argues, among other things, the two convictions for possession of the same cocaine violate his right against double jeopardy. We agree and reverse the conviction and sentence for possession of cocaine as it relates to the simple possession charge.
