Further, the district court properly concluded that the appellant abandoned the suitcase with the drugs when he specifically denied ownership of the suitcase upon inquiry by the police officer.   See United States v. Lewis, 921 F.2d at 1302 ("A voluntary denial of ownership demonstrates sufficient intent of disassociation to prove abandonment.").
