Owens v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 31, 1996 · Ervin, Lawrence, Miner
667 So. 2d 473; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 734; 1996 WL 35144 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Owens v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

After serving the incarcerative portion of a split sentence, the appellant violated his community control. The trial court revoked community control and imposed a prison sentence, without crediting appellant for the time served on the original sentence. This was improper. See Tripp v. State, 622 So.2d 941 (Fla. 1993). Accordingly, we must remand the case with directions to the trial court to grant full credit for the time appellant served on the incarcerative portion of his split sentence.

ERVIN, MINER and LAWRENCE, JJ., concur.
