District Court of Appeal of Florida

An order revoking defendant's community control for drug-related violations is reversed where denial of a motion for acquittal on a charge of maintaining a drug dwelling was error since there was insufficient proof that the property at issue was maintained for the illicit purposes identified and that defendant had ownership or control of the property such that the activity took place at his direction or with his consent.
