Summary
remanding for the trial court to determine whether a single sale of marijuana made revocation appropriate
Summary of this case from Smith v. StateOpinion
Case No. 4D03-1942.
Opinion filed June 30, 2004.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County, Richard I. Wennet, Judge; L.T. Case No. 99-13662 CFA02.
Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Alan T. Lipson, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Don M. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
We have for review an order revoking the appellant's probation as a consequence of his failure to pay restitution, failure to report, and his commission of a new crime, i.e., the sale of marijuana. In the instant case, there was insufficient evidence to prove appellant's willful failure to pay restitution or to report during his probation period. See Steiner v. State, 604 So.2d 1265, 1267 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992). There was, however, sufficient evidence establishing that appellant sold marijuana while on probation. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for the trial court to consider whether to revoke appellant's probation for the sole violation of the sale of marijuana. See Costanz v. State, 740 So.2d 71 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999).
REVERSED and REMANDED.
GUNTHER, STEVENSON and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
NOT FINAL UNTIL DISPOSITION OF ANY TIMELY FILED MOTION FOR REHEARING.
