FONT v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Raul Jose FONT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D19-3684

Decided: July 31, 2020

James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and George D.E. Burden, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and, Pamela J. Koller, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

Appellant, Raul Font, was originally found guilty of lewd or lascivious battery in 2008 and placed on sex offender probation. He violated that probation, and community control was added to his sentence. He later violated the terms of his community control and probation. Rather than answer to those charges in 2010, he fled the jurisdiction, only to be arrested again in 2018. We affirm Appellant's conviction and resulting sentence for violation of probation. Although the court orally announced the basis for finding a violation of probation, there is no order of revocation identifying the conditions Appellant was found to have violated. We remand this matter for entry of an appropriate order. See Wamsley v. State, 293 So. 3d 1130 (Fla. 5th DCA 2020).

AFFIRMED and REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.

PER CURIAM.

EDWARDS, EISNAUGLE, and SASSO, JJ., concur.
