1Opinion of the Court
ORFINGER, M., Senior Judge.
Appellant appeals from a judgment of conviction on drug charges, arguing that trial of these charges was barred on double jeopardy grounds. We disagree and affirm.
Appellant was arrested for sale of crack cocaine to an undercover officer (the first buy). He was also charged with another sale of crack cocaine which took place within 20 or 30 minutes of the first buy, and which was the subject of a separate information (the second buy). Prior to trial on the first buy, the court granted a defense motion in limine precluding any testimony about the second buy or arrest.
