Description

Cook appeals the trial court's finding that she was in constructive possession of a crack pipe and its residue, contending
that proof of possession was legally insufficient to show that she had knowledge and ability to maintain control over the
pipe. We agree and reverse with directions that appellant be discharged as to such offense. The evidence reveals that a law enforcement officer found the crack pipe in appellant's open purse during a raid. Appellant,
a dancer at the bar that was raided, testified that she had placed the purse, which had no money inside it, on the bar and
left it there during one of her dance routines. The raid took place while appellant was on stage.
