Pope, Judge,

¶1concurring specially.

¶2While I agree with the result reached by the majority, I feel compelled to write separately to express my opinion that the only statement contained in the record, which justifies a finding that the defendant asserted a possessory interest in the contraband, is the testimony of the arresting officer that: “Mr. Corley later stated, during the time that they were sitting outside the vehicle, that Mr. Tanner didn’t have anything to do with it, that it was his.” When this statement is considered in context, it is probable that defendant was referring to the marijuana found in Mr. Tanner’s truck. The other statements quoted in the majority opinion are either obviously sarcastic remarks or are otherwise irrelevant to the standing issue.
