App. 103, 104 (1) (a), 628 S.E.2d 148 (2006) ("Positive field test results are alone sufficient to sustain a conviction for selling or possessing cocaine. Positive test results from the State crime lab are not required.")
We note that Fortune's conviction of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute could have been based upon the cocaine found in his vehicle on the digital scale. See Collins v. State, 278 Ga. App. 103, 104 (1) (a) ( 628 SE2d 148) (2006) (positive chemical field test results sufficient to sustain drug conviction). See also Lipsey v. State, 287 Ga. App. 835, 837 (1) ( 652 SE2d 870) (2007) (noting that "possession of digital scales typically used to weigh drugs for distribution" can serve as evidence of the intent to distribute); Copeland v. State, 273 Ga. App. 850, 854 (2) ( 616 SE2d 189) (2005) ("Scales and baggies found at the same [location] as drugs are evidence of intent to distribute[.]"). Likewise, Fortune's conviction of possession of less than one ounce of marijuana could have been based upon the loose marijuana and two marijuana cigarettes discovered in the ashtray of his vehicle.
The evidence as set forth above, including the undercover officer's testimony that Wilson sold him a substance that tested positive for cocaine, was sufficient for the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Wilson sold cocaine to the undercover officer. See Johnson v. State, 289 Ga.App. 206, 208, 656 S.E.2d 861 (2008) (agent's testimony regarding drug sale transaction, combined with evidence of positive field and crime lab testing was sufficient to authorize defendant's conviction for sale of cocaine); Collins v. State, 278 Ga.App. 103, 104(1)(a), 628 S.E.2d 148 (2006) (positive field test results are alone sufficient to sustain conviction for selling cocaine). Although Wilson argues that the State failed to eliminate the possibility that the undercover officer obtained the cocaine from someone other than Wilson, the officer's testimony alone was sufficient to establish that Wilson engaged in a hand-to-hand sale of suspected drugs, which later tested positive for cocaine.
See, e.g., Quarterman v. State, 305 Ga.App. 686, 689–690(1)(a), 700 S.E.2d 674 (2010) (reversing conviction under OCGA § 16–13–32.5(b) where State failed to offer competent evidence that housing complex was “occupied by low and moderate-income families”); Williams v. State, 303 Ga.App. 222, 224(1), 692 S.E.2d 820 (2010) (same); Mahone v. State, 296 Ga.App. 373, 376(3), 674 S.E.2d 411 (2009) (same); Collins v. State, 278 Ga.App. 103, 106(1)(b), 628 S.E.2d 148 (2006) (same); Johnson v. State, 214 Ga.App. 77, 81(2), 447 S.E.2d 74 (1994) (same). In this case, there was testimony at trial that the Butler Street Apartments are “government housing” and that a sign posted at the Butler Street Apartments reads “Gainesville Housing Authority.” This testimony is sufficient to prove that the Butler Street Apartments are “under the jurisdiction of a housing authority” and consist of “dwelling units.” It is not sufficient, however, to prove that the Butler Street Apartments are occupied by low and moderate-income families.
” Here, however, the evidence showed that the incident occurred in an apartment occupied by one of the trial witnesses. 278 Ga.App. 103, 628 S.E.2d 148 (2006). Id. at 105(1)(b), 628 S.E.2d 148.

5 (b) must be reversed. See Mahone, 296 Ga. App. at 374-376 (3); Collins v. State, 278 Ga. App. 103, 105-106 (1) (b) ( 628 SE2d 148) (2006); Johnson v. State, 214 Ga. App. 77, 79-81 (2) ( 447 SE2d 74) (1994). Compare Barnett v. State, 276 Ga. App. 238, 240 (1) ( 623 SE2d 136) (2005) (offense established by testimony that the housing authority owned the apartments where the drug transaction occurred and that families of lower income lived there); Haywood v. State, 248 Ga. App. 210, 212 (2) ( 546 SE2d 325) (2001) (offense established by testimony that the drug crime occurred at a publicly operated low to moderate-income housing project run by the housing authority).

Johnson points out that although the substance found in the aspirin bottle field tested positive for cocaine, it was not tested at the state crime lab. However, field test results alone are sufficient to prove the presence of a controlled substance; state crime lab results are not required. Collins v. State, 278 Ga. App. 103, 104 (1) (a) ( 628 SE2d 148) (2006). In any event, Johnson's conviction could be sustained based solely on the cocaine in the prescription bottle found in the bathtub, which was subject to a field test as well as testing at the state crime lab.
In light of this evidence, the jury was authorized to conclude that the cocaine Reason possessed was within 1,000 feet of the apartment. Collins v. State, 278 Ga. App. 103, 105 (1) (b) ( 628 SE2d 148) (2006). 2.
