TAMBASCO v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 17, 2010 · Cohen, Monaco, Evander
49 So. 3d 863; 2010 Fla. App. LEXIS 19166; 2010 WL 5128265 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

TAMBASCO v. State

Opinion

COHEN, J.

Michael Tambasco appeals the judgment and sentence finding a violation of probation. We affirm in part and reverse in part. There was substantial, competent evidence to support the trial court’s finding that Mr. Tambasco violated conditions one and five of his probation. However, we reverse the sentence as it was general in nature, and did not specifically address the two counts for which Mr. Tambasco had been placed on probation. Scott v. State, 747 So.2d 1018 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). This resulted in the imposition of a fifteen-year Department of Corrections sentence on count two which exceeded the five-year statutory maximum.

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART; and REMANDED for imposition of a corrected sentence.

MONACO, C.J., and EVANDER, J., concur.
