GLASCO v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Ricky Adams GLASCO, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D18-3415

Decided: April 03, 2020

James S. Purdy, Public Defender, Susan A. Fagan and Nancy Ryan, Assistant Public Defenders, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kristen L. Davenport, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

Appellant argues, inter alia, that the trial court erred in denying his Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b) motion to strike investigative costs, which were imposed without the introduction of any evidence. We agree and remand for the trial court to strike the $600 “Investigative Agency Costs: Brevard County Sheriff’s Office” imposed pursuant to section 938.27(1), Florida Statutes (2018). See Negron v. State, 266 So. 3d 1266, 1267 (Fla. 5th DCA 2019) (“An award of investigative costs must be supported by competent substantial evidence.” (citation omitted)). We otherwise affirm.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED with INSTRUCTIONS.

PER CURIAM.

EDWARDS, EISNAUGLE, and GROSSHANS, JJ., concur.
