By published opinion dated July 31, 2001, a divided panel of this Court affirmed the appellant's conviction. See Staton v. Commonwealth, 36 Va.App. 282, 549 S.E.2d 627 (2001). We stayed the mandate of that decision and granted rehearing en banc.
Upon a rehearing en banc, the stay of the July 31, 2001 mandate is lifted, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed in accordance with the majority panel opinion.
