1Opinion of the Court

AGEE, Judge.

Gary L. Foster (Foster) was convicted in the Halifax County Circuit Court of distribution of cocaine 1 in violation of Code § 18.2-248. He was sentenced to a term of two years incarceration. Foster appeals his conviction, contending the trial court erred (1) by denying his motion to strike the evidence as insufficient to establish he committed the distribution offense; (2) by failing to find that he established an accommodation defense, and (3) in not allowing his accommodation defense argument to be presented to the jury. For the following reasons, we affirm Foster’s conviction.
