Constructive possession is established by evidence showing that the contraband was under the dominion and control of the defendant. Roberson v. State, 595 So.2d 1310, 1319 (Miss.1992). “There must be sufficient facts to warrant a finding that the defendant was aware of the presence and character of the particular contraband and was intentionally and consciously in possession of it. Curry v. State, 249 So.2d 414, 416 (Miss.1971).”
