Beree v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 12, 2000 · Benton, Browning, Miner
755 So. 2d 783; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 4228; 2000 WL 370178 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Beree v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Jonathan Beree appeals his felony conviction for fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer under section 316.1935(2), Florida Statutes (1997). Because the evidence adduced at trial was insufficient to establish that Mr. Beree caused the pursuing officer to engage in a “high-speed vehicle pursuit,” we reverse and remand for the trial court to enter a conviction for misdemeanor fleeing and eluding under section 316.1935(1), Florida Statute (1997). See State v. Shaw, 693 So.2d 582, 583 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997); see generally Travis v. State, 700 So.2d 104 *784(Fla. 1st DCA 1997); State v. Barnes, 686 So.2d 633 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996).

Reversed and remanded with directions.
