Opinion

No. 75-839.

March 12, 1976.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Broward County; Paul M. Marko, III, Judge.

Warner S. Olds, Public Defender, and William W. Herring, Asst. Public Defender, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Lance R. Stelzer and Paul H. Zacks, Asst. Attys. Gen., Miami, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The trial court erred in denying defendant's motion to suppress his statements in that they were clearly induced by improper promises of a police officer. Appellant's other points are without merit. We reverse and remand upon authority of Jarriel v. State, 317 So.2d 141 (Fla.App. 4th, 1975) and M.D.B. v. State, 311 So.2d 399 (Fla.App. 4th 1975).

Reversed and remanded.

WALDEN, C.J., DOWNEY, J., and MORROW, RUSSELL O., Associate Judge, concur.
