1Opinion of the Court

WIGGINTON, Acting Chief Judge.

Appellant seeks review of a judgment of conviction and sentence based upon a jury verdict finding him guilty of the unlawful possession of a narcotic drug, to wit, cannabis sativa.

By his first point on appeal appellant challenges the correctness of the trial court’s ruling which admitted into evidence over appellant’s objection a statement given by him to the arresting officer that he was in control and charge of the premises described in the search warrant, a search of which premises produced the evidence on which appellant was convicted.
