1Opinion of the Court

Miller, Chief Judge.

A jury found George Washington Carter guilty of one count of burglary (OCGA § 16-7-1 (a)). Carter appeals challenging the sufficiency of the evidence, arguing that the State failed to introduce evidence of intent to commit burglary. We find that the evidence submitted to the jury was sufficient on the question of intent. Discerning no error, we affirm.
