A Cobb County jury found Jennifer Driscoll guilty of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, 16-13-30 b; possession of methadone, OCGA § 16-13-30 b; possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, OCGA § 16-11-106 b 4; possession of a firearm by a first offender probationer, OCGA § 16-11-131 b; and driving with a suspended license, OCGA § 40-5-121 a. Driscoll appeals from the order denying her motion for new trial, contending the court erred in denying her motion to suppress and that the evidence was insufficient to support her firearm convictions and her conviction for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Finding no error, we affirm. 1. When a criminal defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his or her conviction, “the relevant question is whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.” Citation omitted; emphasis in original. Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307, 318-319 III B 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979. The jury, not this Court, resolves conflicts in the testimony, weighs the evidence, and draws reasonable inferences from basic facts to ultimate facts. Id. “As long as there is some competent evidence, even though contradicted, to support each fact necessary to make out the State’s case, the jury’s verdict will be upheld.” Citation and punctuation omitted.

At about 2:00 a.m. on October 22, 2005, a Cobb County police officer stopped the car Jennifer Driscoll was driving because the tag light was out and because a check of the license tag revealed that the car was uninsured. Driscoll told the officer her license had been suspended, and the officer confirmed that fact. The officer noticed that Driscoll’s passenger, Samuel Whaley, was unusually nervous and clasped a bag beneath his legs. A check of Whaley’s identification revealed that he was on parole. The officer asked for and received consent from Whaley to search his bag. The officer found, hidden in a compartment at the bottom of the bag, a loaded .38 revolver. The officer arrested Whaley for violating his parole, and Driscoll for the traffic offenses. Incident to her arrest, a female officer searched Driscoll’ person. Incident to Driscoll’s and Whaley’s arrest, and because the car was to be impounded, the police searched the interior of the car.
