619 So. 2d 514 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1993)

Opinion

No. 92-0285.

June 16, 1993.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for St. Lucie County; Dwight L. Geiger, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Paul E. Petillo, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Edward L. Giles, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse and remand with direction to discharge the defendant. Probable cause did not exist so as to justify the conduct of the four law enforcement officers — guns drawn and handcuffs. There was only founded suspicion for a stop. See Reynolds v. State, 592 So.2d 1082 (Fla. 1992).

GLICKSTEIN, C.J., and WARNER and FARMER, JJ., concur.
