State v. Barron, 202 N.C. App. 686 (Mar. 2, 2010)
There was insufficient evidence that the defendant constructively possessed the controlled substances at issue. The defendant did not have exclusive possession of the premises where the drugs were found; evidence showed only that the defendant was present, with others, in the room where the drugs were found.
