REVELS v. STATE

No. 94-02845.

666 So.2d 213 (1995)

James REVELS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

December 27, 1995.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and Allyn Giambalvo, Assistant Public Defender, Clearwater, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Brenda S. Taylor, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


ALTENBERND, Judge.

James Revels appeals his conviction for possession of crack cocaine, arguing that the trial court should have suppressed the cocaine as the fruit of an illegal arrest. Although this case is similar to Burnette v. State, 658 So.2d 1170 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995), in which the police lacked probable cause to arrest the defendant, we conclude that probable cause existed to arrest Mr. Revels in this case.
