Garcia v. State

873 So. 2d 426, 2004 Fla. App. LEXIS 5446, 2004 WL 840223

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The defendant, Reinardo Garcia, appeals from his convictions and sentences for sale of cocaine and trafficking in cocaine arguing that the trial court abused its discretion by admitting into evidence the cocaine seized from both transactions without requiring the State to establish a complete chain of custody. We affirm based on our finding that the State was not required to establish a complete chain of custody where the record does not demonstrate that there was a probability of tampering with the evidence. Davis v. State, 788 So.2d 308, 310 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001); Creme v. State, 752 So.2d 1238 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000).

Affirmed.
