Warner v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Jul 17, 1991
581 So. 2d 232 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 90-1588.

June 11, 1991. Rehearing Denied July 17, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County; Philip Padovano, Judge.

Robert A. Rand, Rand Walker, Tallahassee, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Carolyn J. Mosley, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.


This is an appeal from a judgment and sentence entered pursuant to a conviction for a violation of section 831.31, Florida Statutes (1989). Appellant contends that section does not apply to an act of possession of fake crack in an unmarked, clear, plastic bag.

We reverse pursuant to Adderly v. State, 571 So.2d 557 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990).

While the state argues that possession of fake cocaine is controlled by section 831.31, that section is apparently intended to reach counterfeiting of prescription drugs. The sections which apply to imitation controlled substances are sections 817.563 and 817.564, Florida Statutes.

WIGGINTON and ALLEN, JJ., concur.
