WILLIAMS v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Josephus WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 2D18-2987

Decided: September 13, 2019

Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Richard P. Albertine, Jr., Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

This is Josephus Williams' Anders ¹ appeal of the revocation of his probation and the resulting sentence of fifteen years in prison for fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer. We affirm in all respects except we remand for the entry of an amended revocation order.

The record shows that an affidavit was filed alleging Williams had committed three violations of condition five of his probation by failing to live without violating any law. Following an evidentiary hearing, the court found that Williams had willfully and substantially violated his probation and a revocation order was entered. However, the revocation order does not specify the conditions that Williams was found to have violated. Accordingly, we must remand for the entry of an order that delineates the specific conditions Williams was found to have violated. See Montonez v. State, 724 So. 2d 650, 651 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999).

Affirmed and remanded with instructions.
