AFFIRMED. See Ward v. State, 21 So. 3d 896, 899-900 (Fla. 5th DCA 2009) ("[T]he issue is whether the officers had reasonable suspicion to believe that [the defendant] had committed the offense of trespassing, not whether the defendant had actually committed a crime. A police officer is not required to determine conclusively that a crime has occurred prior to detaining an individual.") LAWSON, EVANDER, and COHEN, JJ., concur.
