Eddie B. PICKARD, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 5D00-1461.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Lisa A. Franchina, Orlando, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Robin A. Compton, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

Opinion:
GRIFFIN, J.
Eddie B. Pickard ["Pickard"] appeals his conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
We reject Pickard's claim that the trial court erred by denying Pickard's motion for a judgment of acquittal on the issue of constructive possession of weapons found in the jointly occupied vehicle. One of the guns was found in the seat occupied by Pickard, and evidence was introduced indicating that the gun was in that seat when he was in the vehicle. This evidence creates a question for the jury on the possession issue.
AFFIRMED.
COBB and ORFINGER, R.B., JJ., concur.
