Berg

*961 A jury convicted defendant Andrew Marshall Berg of knowingly possessing methamphetamine in the Monterey County Jail ( *962 Pen. Code, § 4753.6, subd. (a) ).

Because evidence of voluntary intoxication is inadmissible to negate the presence of general criminal intent ( Pen. Code, § 29.4, subd. (a) ), we will find no prejudicial error. We will modify a clerical error in the abstract of judgment and affirm the judgment as modified.
