Opinion
No. 90-02113.
April 3, 1992.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Harry Lee Coe, III, Judge.
Darrell Staten, pro se.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Stephen A. Baker, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
In this appeal from convictions for robbery and possession of cocaine, appellant Darrell Staten raises two issues. Both are without merit. The search of Staten's automobile, which produced the cocaine in question, was lawful since Staten had committed the offense of fleeing a police officer and was subject to arrest for same. Moreover, the court did not err in placing Staten on probation despite the fact he also was declared a habitual felony offender. See King v. State, 597 So.2d 309 (Fla.2d DCA March 4, 1992).
§ 316.1935, Fla. Stat. (1989).
Affirmed.
CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and LEHAN and HALL, JJ., concur.
