Massie said he first obtained cocaine from Peper in 1983 or early 1984, when Peper was living in Rich- mond and attending MCV’s dental school. He told of driving to Dulles Airport in March 1986 to meet Wes Kelmer, a friend of Peper who was to deliver a pound of cocaine, Massie said they picked him up and returned to the Howard Johnson’s in Warrenton where Massie had rented a room for Kelmer, charging it on his Visa card.

Massie told the jury that he saw a portion of the cocaine, packaged in ziplock bags. The following day, Peper, who had stayed the night at his residence at The Plains, drove the two men to Massie’s Richmond apartment, the Commonwealth’s witness said, “I waited for them to divide the cocaine ... I got four ounces,” Massie said, adding that Peper and Kelmer left with the rest of the drug.

After cutting the cocaine with inisotol, a health food supplement available in white powder form from grocery stores, he sold the drug to his “regular string of people,” Massie told the jury, adding that he kept a portion for his personal use. He paid Peper for the four ounces with cash and a check for $1,190, Massie said. The memo on the check, dated April 5, 1986, and made out to and endorsed by Denis Peper, notes “for stereo.”

“It was his idea to put stereo on there,” Massie testified.

A second check dated Nov. 11, 1985, and made out to Denis Peper was also for cocaine, Massie said.
