1Opinion of the Court
COLE, Senior Judge.
Leonard Shelton Jackson appeals his conviction for possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute. He contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress the cocaine. Finding no error, we affirm.
In reviewing a trial court’s denial of a motion to suppress, “the burden is upon [the appellant] to show that this ruling, when the evidence is considered most favorably to the Commonwealth, constituted reversible error.” Fore v. Commonwealth, 220 Va. 1007, 1010, 265 S.E.2d 729, 731, cert. denied, 449 U.S. 1017, 101 S.Ct. 579, 66 L.Ed.2d 477 (1980).
