Willis v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Willis v. State, 744 So. 2d 1265 (1999)
1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 15747; 1999 WL 1075121
Davis, Lawrence, Nortwick
Willis v. State
Opinion of the Court
Cecil Ray Willis appeals his sentence imposed after violation of probation, arguing that the trial court erred in refusing to resentence him as a youthful offender. Under section 958.14, Florida Statutes (1997), a trial court may impose a non-youthful offender sentence on a youthful offender who commits violations of probation that involve new substantive offenses. See Hill v. State, 692 So.2d 277 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997); Dunbar v. State, 664 So.2d 1093 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995); Johnson v. State, 678 So.2d 934 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996). Here, appellant violated his probation by committing two new substantive offenses. Thus, the trial court was not limited to a youthful offender sentence. Id. Accordingly, we affirm.
