STATE v. SANDS (2001)

District Court of Appeal of Florida,Third District.

The STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. David Alex SANDS, Appellee.

No. 3D00-2575.

Decided: December 05, 2001

Before JORGENSON, LEVY, and GODERICH, JJ.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Fredericka Sands, Assistant Attorney General, for appellant. Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Robert Kalter, Assistant Public Defender, for appellee.

The State appeals from a non-final order granting defendant's motion to suppress evidence of his possession of drugs and a concealed weapon. The trial court, relying on Shadler v. State, 761 So.2d 279 (Fla.2000), ruled that if an officer's reason for a traffic stop is based on misinformation, any evidence found as a result of the stop must be suppressed. We affirm, as the facts of this case are indistinguishable from those in Shadler.

AFFIRMED.

PER CURIAM.
