COLE v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Christopher Randall COLE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D18-1689

Decided: June 28, 2019

Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Carrie McMullen, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Heather Flanagan Ross, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Appellant's convictions and sentences for both possessing methamphetamine, and possessing the same meth with intent to sell it, within a thousand feet of a single proscribed location, do not violate double jeopardy. Thomas v. State, 61 So. 3d 1157 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011); see also Johnson v. State, 150 So. 3d 214, 216 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014) (collecting cases).

Affirmed.

Per Curiam.

Roberts, Rowe, and Kelsey, JJ., concur.
