Twining v. State
380 So. 2d 496, 1980 Fla. App. LEXIS 15565
District Court of Appeal of Florida·Decided February 22, 1980·No. No. 79-795·Published·Cited by 2 cases
Opinion
We affirm appellant’s conviction of possession of a short-barreled shotgun. However, the maximum statutory penalty for that offense is five years. Section 790.-221(2), Fla.Stat. (1977). Thus, the maximum period of probation which may be imposed is five years. See Watts v. State, 328 So.2d 223 (Fla.2d DCA 1976). The six-year term of probation imposed below is excessive.
Accordingly, appellant’s conviction is affirmed, but we remand for the trial court to impose a new term of probation consistent with this opinion.
