Description

July 27, 1995 O P I N I O N John Davis, Jr. appeals his conviction for possession of a controlled substance, cocaine, in an amount less than twenty-eight grams. On appeal, Davis complains of the denial of his motion for a court-appointed expert witness; the admission of evidence allegedly seized in violation of his constitutional rights; error in the charge to the jury; and the punishment assessed by the jury. We find no reversible error and affirm. At approximately 9:00 p.m. on the night of January 22, 1993, officers McCarver and Gladden of the Texarkana Police Department were patrolling in an unmarked car in a residential area of Texarkana, Texas. McCarver noticed two men standing in the front yard of a residence and recognized Davis as one of the men. The officers drove past the residence, turned the next corner, and drove around the block to return to the residence. McCarver testified that, as the patrol car pulled up to the residence, Davis waved and approached the car. McCarver rolled down his window. Davis immediately recognized McCarver and turned to walk toward the residence. McCarver ordered Davis to stop, but Davis did not obey the order.
