1Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the court was delivered by Stegall, J.:

Ronald Cottrell sold prescription narcotics to an undercover detective in a QuikTrip parking lot in Sedgwick County. A jury convicted him of distributing of a controlled substance and conspiring to distribute a controlled substance.

He also challenges the denial of his motion for acquittal. We affirm.
