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 THEODORE ROOSEVELT FOULKES, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D16-939 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed July 7, 2017 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Volusia County, Terence R. Perkins, Judge. James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Ali L. Hansen, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Robin A. Compton, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Theodore Foulkes entered a no contest plea to possession of cannabis in excess of twenty grams after the denial of his dispositive motion to suppress. We affirm, without discussion, the trial court’s denial of Foulkes’ motion to suppress. However, we agree with Foulkes that the trial court erred in imposing costs of investigation where the State did not expressly request these costs. On remand, the State shall be afforded another opportunity to request costs of investigation. McCarthy v. State, 893 So. 2d 689, 690 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005). AFFIRMED, in part; REVERSED, in part; and REMANDED. COHEN, C.J., and TORPY and EVANDER, JJ., concur. 2
