State v. Queior
Annotate this CaseThe State sought to revoke Defendant’s probation based upon Defendant's alleged illegal drug use in violation of the conditions of his probation. The Second District Court of Appeal reversed the trial court’s revocation order, holding that the probation officer’s testimony that Defendant failed a field drug test personally administered by the officer was not competent, nonhearsay evidence that Defendant had used an opiate in violation of his probation and that the only other evidence of the violation was hearsay. The Supreme Court quashed the Second District’s decision, holding (1) the probation officer testimony regarding the result of the field drug test was competent, nonhearsay evidence of a probation violation; and (2) this evidence, together with the hearsay evidence, was sufficient to establish that Defendant violated the conditions of his probation.
