1Opinion of the Court
ROBERT J. HUMPHREYS, Judge.
Demetrius Deangelo Askew appeals his convictions after a bench trial, for possession of cocaine, in violation of Code § 18.2-250, and possession of a firearm while in possession of cocaine, in violation of Code § 18.2-308.4(A). Askew contends the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress the evidence against him, and in ruling that a violation of Code § 18.2-308.4(A) requires a mandatory minimum sentence of five years. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
On September 14, 2000, at approximately 10:45 p.m., Newport News…
