D. Franklin Arey, III, Judge, dissenting. I agree that we should reverse appellant’s conviction for possession of a controlled substance. We should affirm the conviction for maintaining a drug premises, because appellant did not argue this point on appeal. Appellant’s fleeting references to the conviction cannot be translated into an argument for reversal. We consider only those arguments raised by the parties; we do not reverse a trial court for unargued reasons. Bousquet v. State, 59 Ark. App. 54, 953 S.W.2d 894 (1997). Therefore, I dissent from the reversal of appellant’s conviction for maintaining a drug premises. Crabtree, J., joins.
