Cotton v. State

MILLER, Chief Judge.

A jury convicted William Andrew Cotton of one count of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute (OCGA § 16-13-30 (b)) and one count of obstructing or hindering law enforcement officers (OCGA § 16-10-24). Cotton appeals from the trial court’s denial of his motion for new trial, contending that the trial court erred in (i) admitting an alleged similar transaction, (ii) allowing a police officer to testify as an expert witness as to drug investigations, drug use, and drug paraphernalia, and (iii) denying his motion for a mistrial. Discerning no error, we affirm.
