Description
Defendant-appellant Clayton appeals his conviction of possession of heroin. After agreeing to a search of his residence, Clayton was arrested for possession of heroin, which was hidden in the dining room of the home occupied by him and a minor female. At his trial, Clayton testified that he was out of town for the previous three days and did not know that the heroin was in the house until after the police discovered it. His companion testified that the heroin had been given to her by friends who had visited the house during Clayton's absence. She also testified that Clayton was unaware of the heroin. On cross-examination, Clayton admitted to being a registered heroin addict. He also admitted to ingesting heroin around the time of his arrest. He knew that marijuana, another controlled substance, was present in the house and he acknowledged that he consumed marijuana. The jury found Clayton guilty of constructive possession of heroin.
