Gibson v. State

Gibson v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 25, 1988 · Hubbart, Pearson, Schwartz
532 So. 2d 1126; 13 Fla. L. Weekly 2390; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 4684; 1988 WL 110870 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Gibson v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Rejecting the appellant’s sole point on the merits, we find that the warrantless search of his person which yielded the cocaine with which he was charged was properly based on probable cause. Hence, the conviction is affirmed.

As the state agrees, however, costs were improperly imposed and the award is reversed on the authority of Jenkins v. State, 444 So.2d 947 (Fla. 1984) and Mays v. State, 519 So.2d 618 (Fla. 1988).
