Judgment affirmed. Blackburn, P. J., and Ellington, J., concur.

Tambra P. Colston, District Attorney, Fred R. Simpson, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.
Jason Willis appeals his jury conviction of theft by receiving, arguing the evidence is insufficient. We affirm.The State indicted Willis for burglary and theft by receiving. The jury acquitted him of the burglary charge, and he contends the evidence showed he committed either burglary or theft by taking, but not theft by receiving. To the contrary, State's witness Daniel Weathington testified that he, Willis, and two other people broke into the victim's house. Willis took a shotgun and money from a bedroom and, as the group was leaving, Weathington took a deer rifle from the porch, Weathington said. Willis saw him take the deer rifle. After the group agreed to pawn the deer rifle, Willis went into a pawn shop and obtained money for the deer rifle, according to Weathington.While Willis presented a different version of events in his testimony, the jury was entitled to believe either version.
