delivered the Opinion of the Court.
¶ 1 Richard Alfred Weitzel (Weitzel) appeals from a jury verdict finding him guilty of felony assault and the corresponding sentence imposed by the First Judicial District Court, Lewis and Clark County. We affirm the verdict but reverse the District Court’s sentence enhancement for use of a weapon during the commission of an offense.
¶2 Weitzel raises three issues on appeal:
¶3 (1) Was there sufficient evidence to sustain the conviction for felony assault?
¶4 (2) Did the District Court abuse its discretion by allowing rebuttal evidence showing that Weitzel had pawned a handgun in July of 1996?
¶5 (3) Should this case be remanded to the District Court for resentencing in light of the recent decision in
State v. Guillaume,
Factual and Procedural Background
¶6 On April 10,1998, the State of Montana (the State) filed an Information charging Weitzel with two counts of felony assault and one count of felony conspiracy to sell dangerous drugs. Count I alleged that Weitzel had pointed a handgun at the head of Jeffrey Brewer (Brewer), causing him reasonable apprehension of serious bodily injury. Count II alleged that Weitzel had pointed a handgun at Veronica Jenkins (Jenkins), causing her reasonable apprehension of serious bodily injury. And Count III alleged that Weitzel had agreed with Cynthia Thilmony (Thilmony) to the sale of marijuana and provided her with $800 cash for that purpose. Weitzel pleaded not guilty to the charges.
¶7 The events giving rise to the charges against Weitzel occurred on March 12, 1998, in Helena, Montana. At that time, Weitzel was a self-employed flooring contractor. He lived in a house on Choteau Street and was engaged to Judy Weidner (Weidner). Weidner’s nineteen-year-old niece, Thilmony, lived nearby in an apartment on Broadwater Circle. On March 12, Thilmony called Weitzel at his *194 house and asked if she could come over and use his washing machine to do some laundry. Weitzel agreed and Thilmony arrived at his house around noon. During this visit, according to Thilmony, Weitzel asked her if she could procure a half-pound of marijuana for him to purchase. Thilmony agreed to make some inquiries on behalf of Weitzel.
¶8 Thilmony then called her boyfriend, Brewer, who in turn called two friends, Mike Zandhuisen (Zandhuisen) and Jeremy Younkin (Younkin). Younkin stated that he could obtain a half-pound of marijuana for $800; Brewer related this information to Thilmony, who informed Weitzel. Weitzel allegedly gave Thilmony $800, and she turned the money over to Brewer to make the purchase of marijuana. Brewer then gave Younkin $700 cash, keeping $100 for himself. However, after obtaining the $700 from Brewer, Younkin and Zandhuisen decided to steal the money from Brewer and split it between themselves.
¶9 At about 6:15 p.m., Weitzel allegedly first learned that $800 cash was missing from his wallet, which had been sitting on a desk in his home office throughout the day, and he called Weidner to inform her of the fact. Weitzel and Weidner assumed that the culprit was Thilmony. Sometime after 9:00 p.m., Brewer went to Jenkins’ apartment on Broadwater Circle and called Zandhuisen, who then informed Brewer that he and Younkin did not have the money or the drugs because the $700 had been “ripped off” by their supplier. Subsequently, Thilmony went to her apartment and was confronted by Weitzel about the missing cash. According to Weitzel, Thilmony admitted to stealing the money and giving it to Brewer to purchase marijuana.
¶10 Weitzel then decided to find and confront Brewer. Thilmony drove Weitzel to Jenkins’ apartment. According to Thilmony, Weitzel had a handgun in a shoulder holster under his jacket, and he informed Thilmony that someone’s “going to die tonight." Upon arriving, Weitzel got out of the car, walked into Jenkins’ apartment, and pinned Brewer’s head against the wall with a dark object, demanding his money back and shouting obscenities. Brewer, Zandhuisen, Scott Smith (Smith), and Rob Hollow (Hollow) subsequently escaped on foot, while Jenkins remained at her apartment. Weitzel left Jenkins’ apartment in Thilmony’s car, but asked her to drop him off at Weidner’s apartment. About fifteen minutes thereafter, Weitzel showed up at Thilmony’s apartment on foot, carrying a cell phone instead of a gun.
*195 ¶11 At 10:08 p.m., the Helena Police Department received a call from Thilmony’s mother, who stated that she believed Thilmony was in danger and expressed concern that there might be a gun involved. Upon responding to the call and arriving at Thilmony’s apartment on Broadwater Circle, the police encountered Weitzel at the front door. Weitzel was immediately patted down but the police found no firearm or holster on his person. The police advised Weitzel of the concern that there might be a gun involved, to which Weitzel responded that the confusion may have been caused by his cell phone. When questioned, Thilmony told the police that $800 had been stolen from her and that Weitzel was helping her to get the money back. Weitzel did not contradict Thilmony’s story at that time.
¶12 A few days after this incident, Thilmony told the police about the alleged drug deal and the events leading up to the assault by Weitzel. Weitzel eventually told the police that Thilmony had taken the $800 from his apartment, and that he had gone with Thilmony to Jenkins’ apartment in an attempt to recover the money. Weitzel denied that he had used a gun to threaten Brewer, instead claiming that he had held his cell phone against Brewer’s face during the confrontation at Jenkins’ apartment.
¶ 13 The other witnesses to the incident recalled varying, and often contradictory, details about the assault. Although Thilmony did not initially represent to police that a gun had been involved in the incident, she subsequently testified that Weitzel had been holding a handgun when he entered Jenkins’ apartment on the night in question. Zandhuisen claimed that after the incident with Weitzel, Brewer had injuries consistent with having been hit in the head with a gun. However, Brewer denied the same at trial. Smith and Hollow also testified, consistent with Zandhuisen, that Weitzel had wielded a gun against Brewer on the night of March 12. Immediately following the assault incident, Jenkins had excitedly told a neighbor that Weitzel had come into her apartment and thrown Brewer against the wall, but at that time she never mentioned that Weitzel had a gun. However, Jenkins subsequently stated to police that Weitzel had threatened her with a gun. Shortly after the incident, Jenkins mysteriously moved out of Montana.
¶14 All of the State’s key witnesses (excluding the police) were friends prior to the incident. The authorities did not search Weitzel’s home for any guns, nor did they search Weidner’s apartment for any handguns belonging to Weitzel. At trial, Weidner testified that she *196 did not believe that Weitzel owned a handgun. Weitzel’s criminal record consisted of only two misdemeanors, neither of which involved drugs or violence. Thilmony was charged with conspiracy but pleaded to theft in return for her testifying against Weitzel. Zandhuisen was also charged with conspiracy but, notwithstanding the absence of an agreement to testify against Weitzel, the charges against him were dismissed. Brewer was not charged in connection with this case.
¶15 Prior to trial, Weitzel gave notice that he would present evidence of his good character and assert the defense of justifiable use of force. At trial, Weitzel testified that he had last purchased a handgun in March or April of 1996 and had given it to his brother at that time. On cross-examination, Weitzel clarified that he had purchased a ,9mm Baretta as a belated birthday present for. his brother in 1996, and further denied having any handguns himself. Weitzel’s brother testified at trial about the gift of the pistol in 1996 and also testified that Weitzel did not have any handguns.
¶16 At the close of Weitzel’s case-in-chief, the State moved to present rebuttal testimony to the effect that Weitzel had pawned and then subsequently retrieved a handgun from a pawnshop in 1996. That handgun was a .45 caliber Llama similar in appearance to the one described by the State’s witnesses. The State explained that it had not known prior to trial what the testimony of Weitzel and his brother would be concerning Weitzel’s ownership of handguns, and offered the rebuttal evidence to impeach Weitzel’s credibility. The District Court overruled Weitzel’s objections and permitted the State to present the rebuttal evidence in the form of pawn shop records. The court also allowed the State to show the jury an actual .45 caliber Llama to demonstrate the type of firearm that Weitzel had owned in 1996.
¶17 On August 26,1998, the jury returned its verdict, unanimously finding Weitzel guilty of felony assault under Count I, and not guilty of conspiracy to commit the criminal sale of dangerous drugs under Count III. The jury was unable to reach a verdict as to the felony assault charge alleged in Count II. Following the verdict, Weitzel filed a “Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict," which was denied by the District Court. On October 23, 1998, the District Court sentenced Weitzel to the Montana State Prison for a term of four years for Count I, felony assault, with all of the four-year term suspended upon certain conditions. However, the District Court further sentenced Weitzel to a mandatory term of two years at the Montana *197 State Prison, pursuant to § 46-18-221, MCA, for using a weapon during the commission of the felony assault.
Discussion
¶18 (1) Was there sufficient evidence to sustain the conviction for felony assault?
¶19 At the conclusion of the State’s case, the District Court denied Weitzel’s motion to dismiss on the basis of insufficient evidence. A motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence should be granted by the district court “
‘only
where there is
no evidence
upon which a trier of fact could base a verdict.’
’’State v. Miller
(1988),
¶20 Weitzel, while acknowledging that witness credibility and weight of the evidence is the province of the jury, contends that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of felony assault because the testimony of all of the State’s witnesses, with the exception of the police, was lacking in credibility. Weitzel points to “numerous inconsistencies” in the stories of the State’s witnesses, such as the contradictory “time-line” put forward by those witnesses as to the events of March 12, and asserts that these conflicts in the testimony render the underlying felony assault conviction invalid. However, Weitzel’s contentions are unavailing and need not be repeated in detail here. “ Tt is within the province of the finder of fact to weigh the evidence presented and determine the credibility of the witnesses]; in the event of conflicting evidence on factual issues, the trier of fact determines which will prevail.’ ”
State v. Johnson,
*198
¶21 Weitzel was convicted of felony assault under § 45-5-202, MCA (1997), pursuant to which the State was required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Weitzel caused “reasonable apprehension of serious bodily injury in another by use of a weapon.” Section 45-5-202(2)(b), MCA (1997). As Weitzel recognizes, there was testimony from five separate witnesses for the State to the effect that Weitzel assaulted Brewer with a handgun in Jenkins’ apartment on the evening of March 12, 1998. Our function on appellate review is limited to determining whether the jury verdict is supported by sufficient evidence, not whether there was evidence which could support a different verdict.
See Johnson,
¶ 41(quoting
Sattler,
¶ 60). Although the evidence could support a different verdict in this case, it is not this Court’s role to impose our judgment for that of the trier of fact. That the jury chose to believe the version of the facts put forward by the State’s witnesses, rather than Weitzel’s depiction of the events that occurred on March 12, was within its prerogative as the trier of fact. Furthermore, as the State points out, the mere fact that a defendant’s testimony conflicts with that of other witnesses does not, by itself, render the evidence insufficient to support the conviction.
See Miller,
¶ 25 (quoting
State v. Bower
(1992),
¶22 The testimony of the five witnesses presented a more than sufficient basis from which the jury could determine that Weitzel had used a gun rather than a cell phone to commit the assault on Brewer. When viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the State, we determine that any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of felony assault beyond a reasonable doubt. We hold that there was sufficient evidence to support Weitzel’s conviction for felony assault. We further hold, therefore, that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in denying Weitzel’s motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence.
¶23 (2) Did the District Court abuse its discretion by allowing rebuttal evidence showing that Weitzel had pawned a handgun in July of 1996?
¶24 We review a district court’s evidentiary rulings for abuse of discretion.
State v. Lantis,
*199 ¶25 Before trial, Weitzel provided notice to the State that he would present the defense of justifiable use of force and that he would present evidence of his good character. In his trial testimony, Weitzel claimed that he does not presently own a handgun or a shoulder holster. However, Weitzel went on to describe how he had purchased a handgun in March or April of 1996 as a belated birthday present for his brother. Similarly, Weitzel’s brother testified about the gift of a pistol from Weitzel in 1996 and also corroborated that Weitzel does not presently own or possess any handguns. Over Weitzel’s objections, the District Court permitted the State to introduce pawn shop records in rebuttal showing that Weitzel had pawned a handgun on July 2, 1996, and then retrieved it on July 13, 1996. The court ruled that the rebuttal evidence was “very relevant” to the question of Weitzel’s credibility.
¶26 On appeal, Weitzel contends that the District Court abused its discretion in permitting the State to introduce the pawn shop records in rebuttal because there was “no basis” in the record for the introduction of that evidence. Weitzel also argues that the court abused its discretion in admitting the evidence because the prosecution failed to discharge its statutory duty to disclose the pawn shop records in advance of trial as required by § 46-15-322, MCA, and Rule 404(b), M.R.Evid. Lastly, Weitzel claims that the admission of the rebuttal evidence was improper pursuant to Rule 608, M.R.Evid. We address each of Weitzel’s contentions in turn.
¶27 Weitzel’s argument that there was “no basis” in the record for the introduction of the rebuttal evidence is without merit. Weitzel testified at trial as follows:
Q: Do you own ... a handgun?
A: No, I do not.
Q: Do you own a shoulder holster?
A: No, I do not.
Q: Have you ever purchased a handgun?
A: Yes.
Q: Where is that handgun?
A: Should be at my brother’s house.
Q: How long ago did you purchase that handgun?
A: March or April of ‘96.
Q: When did you give it to your brother Mark?
A: March or April of ‘96.
*200 Q: Has that firearm been in your possession at any time since March or April of 1996?
A: No.
¶28 Weitzel then testified, on cross-examination, as follows:
Q: And you don’t have any handguns?
A: No, sir, I do not.
Q: I think you testified that you bought one once and gave it to your brother?
A: Yes, I did.
Q: It was a birthday or something?
A: Yes, I did.
Q: You said it was in ... March of‘96?
A: I think it was March or April of ‘96.
When questioned, Weitzel’s brother corroborated that Weitzel had purchased a ,9mm handgun as a belated birthday present for him in March or April of 1996. When asked whether Weitzel owns any handguns, Weitzel’s brother responded in the negative.
¶29 Weitzel takes the position that since he did not testify that he had never owned a handgun, it was improper for the State to introduce rebuttal testimony to the effect that Weitzel had been engaged in a pawn shop transaction involving a handgun in mid-1996. However, we agree with the State that Weitzel “opened the door” to the rebuttal evidence by choosing to testify as to his gun ownership, including the purchase of a handgun for his brother in early-1996. More importantly, as the State suggests, the testimony of Weitzel and his brother left the jury with the misleading impression that Weitzel had purchased only one handgun in the past as a gift for his brother. The plain implication of the testimony presented was that Weitzel had last purchased a handgun in early-1996 and had not owned any handguns since that time. Thus, the State’s pawn shop evidence was properly admitted to rebut that misimpression, and to thereby impeach Weitzel’s credibility, by showing that Weitzel had pawned and then retrieved a handgun shortly after the alleged gift and less than two years before the assault incident.
¶30 Regarding the alleged failure of the State to give notice of the rebuttal testimony, we also conclude that Weitzel’s position must fail. Section 46-15-322, MCA, provides in relevant part:
Disclosure by prosecution....
*201 (6) The prosecutor shall furnish to the defendant no later than 5 days before trial or at a later time as the court may for good cause permit, together with their statements, a list of the names and addresses of all persons whom the prosecutor intends to call as rebuttal witnesses to evidence of good character or the defenses of alibi, compulsion, entrapment, justifiable use of force, or mistaken identity or the defense that the defendant did not have a particular state of mind that is an element of the offense charged.
Section 46-15-322(6), MCA.
¶31 As Weitzel indicates, the duty of pre-trial disclosure by the prosecution under § 46-15-322, MCA, is broader than that required by
Brady v. Maryland
(1963),
¶32 Here, the record shows that an investigating officer first learned of Weitzel’s 1996 pawn shop transaction approximately a month prior to trial and that the prosecutor himself knew of the existence of the pawn shop records about two weeks before trial. Nevertheless, that does not mean that the State was under an obligation to
disclose
this information before trial. As we have indicated in the past, the prosecution is under no statutory duty to provide pre-trial notice of a witness called to impeach the credibility of a defense witness.
See State v. Hildreth
(1994),
¶33 In
Hildreth,
the defendant raised the defense of alibi at trial. In rebuttal, the State called three witnesses. The defendant in
Hildreth
then challenged those witnesses on appeal, contending that the witnesses had been called to rebut his alibi defense but that the State had failed to discharge its statutory duty to provide written, pre-trial disclosure of these witnesses as required by § 46-15-322(6), MCA.
Hildreth,
¶34 Furthermore, even assuming for the sake of argument that the pawn shop records could be characterized as evidence falling within the notice requirements of § 46-15-322(6), MCA, it is evident that the State provided notice to Weitzel at the “earliest opportunity.”
See State v. Madera
(1983),
¶35 We agree with the State that it was therefore entitled to rebut the testimony of Weitzel and his brother with relevant evidence to the contrary. Indeed, the pawn shop rebuttal evidence did not become relevant until Weitzel and his brother testified at trial as to Weitzel’s gun ownership. Although Weitzel questions the relevance of the rebuttable evidence, we agree with the District Court that the pawn shop records were highly relevant to the question of Weitzel’s credi
*203
bility.
See State v. Arlington
(1994),
¶36 It is clear that Weitzel’s defense strategy was to suggest to the jury that he did not own or possess any handguns and had last purchased a handgun as a gift for his brother in early-1996. Weitzel made a tactical decision to open the door to the issue of gun ownership, and by choosing to testify to the purchase of the handgun in 1996 without disclosing other gun transactions in which he had been involved, Weitzel assumed the risk that his defense strategy would backfire. In short, “[h]e took a chance and his strategy failed. He was caught in a trap of his own making, and no ... statutory impurity arose thereby.”
Madera,
¶37 Nor do the pawn shop records constitute “other acts” evidence falling under Rule 404(b), M.R.Evid., and the notice requirements of the so-called “Modified Just Rule.”
See State v. Just
(1979),
¶38 Lastly, we decline to address Weitzel’s argument that the admission of the pawn shop evidence violated Rule 608, M.R.Evid. The State points out that Weitzel failed at trial to raise Rule 608, M.R.Evid., as a basis for exclusion of the evidence. As a general rule, this Court will consider for review only those issues raised before the trial court; we will not review an issue where the defendant has failed to present the issue to the district court.
See State v. Herrera,
1998 MT
*204
173, ¶¶ 17-18,
¶39 Given the nature and circumstances of Weitzel’s testimony in this case, we hold that the District Court did not abuse its discretion by permitting the State to introduce the pawn shop evidence to impeach Weitzel’s credibility.
¶40 Should this case be remanded to the District Court for resentencing in light of the recent decision in
State v.
Guillaume,
¶41 In Guillaume, this Court confronted the question of whether the application of Montana’s weapon enhancement statute, § 46-18-221, MCA (1997), to a conviction for felony assault pursuant to § 45-5-202(2)(b), MCA (1997), violated the double jeopardy provision of Article II, Section 25 of the Montana Constitution. Guillaume, ¶ 2. Reasoning that the Montana Constitution “affords greater protection against multiple punishments for the same offense” than does the United States Constitution, this Court held that “application of the weapon enhancement statute to felony convictions where the underlying offense requires proof of use of a weapon violates the double jeopardy provision of Article II, Section 25 of the Montana Constitution.” Guillaume, ¶ 16.
¶42 Notwithstanding the absence of a double jeopardy objection below, Weitzel asks this Court to apply Guillaume on appeal and conclude that the District Court’s sentence enhancement on the basis of § 46-18-221, MCA (1997), violates the multiple punishments proscription of the Montana Constitution. Weitzel, like the defendant in Guillaume, was convicted of felony assault under § 45-5-202(2)(b), MCA (1997), for causing reasonable apprehension of serious bodily injury in another by “use of a weapon,” and his sentence was then enhanced pursuant to § 46-18-221(1), MCA (1997), for having “used a . . . dangerous weapon” during the commission of that offense. As in Guillaume, since use of a weapon was an element of the underlying *205 felony assault conviction, application of the weapon enhancement statute effectively punished Weitzel twice for use of a weapon in violation of Article II, Section 25 of the Montana Constitution.
¶43 Even though Weitzel failed to raise the double jeopardy issue in the District Court proceedings, the State concedes, and we agree, that this case must be remanded for resentencing in light of
Guillaume.
This Court has already invoked plain error review to reach the
Guillaume
issue on direct appeal, as the State indicates, because “[w]hether multiple punishments have been imposed in violation of a defendant’s fundamental right to be free from double jeopardy brings into question the fundamental fairness of the proceedings and the integrity of the judicial process.”
State v. Brown,
¶44 We hold that the weapon sentence enhancement in this case violated Weitzel’s fundamental right to be free from double jeopardy. Therefore, we remand this matter to the District Court for resentencing.
¶45 The verdict is affirmed and this case is remanded for resentencing.
