1Opinion of the Court
FERREN, Associate Judge:
Tywan Brown, appellant, was charged by information on October 19, 1994, with one count of possession of cocaine, D.C.Code § 33-541(d) (1995 Supp.), after police officers, during an investigatory stop, had seen him toss to the ground a folded piece of brown paper later shown to contain crack cocaine. After a bench trial on January 12-13, 1995, the trial judge found Brown guilty of possession of cocaine and sentenced him to four months in prison. Brown contends on appeal that the trial judge erred in denying his demand for a jury trial. We affirm.
