Farrier v. State, 145 So. 3d 199 (2014)
2014 WL 3966066; 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 12501
Berger, Orfinger, Sawaya

Farrier v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Antorri Farrier timely appeals the judgment and sentences imposed for two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, arguing those offenses were subsumed into the greater offense of burglary of a dwelling with an assault or battery with a firearm where the offenses occurred during the same incident and involved the same two victims. The State concedes that the multiple convictions violate the *200prohibition against double jeopardy, as held in McGhee v. State, 133 So.3d 1137, 1138-39 (Fla. 5th DCA 2014) (reversing conviction for aggravated assault with a firearm because it was subsumed into the greater offense of burglary of a dwelling with an assault or battery while armed with a firearm where offenses involved the same victim and occurred in the same incident) and Green v. State, 120 So.3d 1276, 1278 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013) (“[BJecause all of the elements of the crime of aggravated assault with a firearm are contained within the crime of burglary with an assault while armed with a firearm, convictions for both the burglary and the aggravated assault violate the prohibition against double jeopardy.”). We, therefore, reverse both convictions for aggravated assault with a firearm because they were subsumed into the greater offense of burglary of a dwelling with an assault or battery with a firearm. The remaining convictions are affirmed.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; REMANDED.

SAWAYA, ORFINGER, and BERGER, JJ., concur.
