IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED KELSEY A. TURNER, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D20-357 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed October 23, 2020 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Volusia County, Dawn D. Nichols, Judge. James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Susan A. Fagan, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Kelsey A. Turner, Bushnell, pro se. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Allison L. Morris, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee. EDWARDS, J. Following careful review, we affirm the judgment and sentence entered below, with one exception. The trial court ordered Appellant to pay a $100 investigative cost; however, it was not requested by the State or the agency, nor was it orally pronounced. See § 938.27(1), Fla. Stat. (2020); Quinby v. State, 299 So. 3d 626 (Fla. 5th DCA 2020); Negron v. State, 266 So. 3d 1266, 1267 (Fla. 5th DCA 2019). Because the $100 cost of investigation was improperly imposed, we remand for the trial court to enter an amended sentence striking the $100 investigative cost. AFFIRMED AND REMANDED. EVANDER, C.J., and COHEN, J., concur. 2
