STATE v. FLORIUS

No. 88-2048.

551 So.2d 566 (1989)

STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Charlemond FLORIUS, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Rehearing and Certification Denied November 29, 1989.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and James J. Carney, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Jeffrey L. Anderson, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the suppression of the cocaine found as a result of the search of appellee's bag, as the appellee denied ownership of the bag prior to the search. Since Appellee effectively abandoned the bag, the search of the bag was not unlawful and the evidence found therein was lawfully seized. State v. Brown, 412 So.2d 24 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982); United States v. Carrasquillo, 877 F.2d 73
