No. 3D17-904 Lower Tribunal No. 16-2693 ________________
W.T., a juvenile, Appellant,
vs.
The State of Florida, Appellee.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Angelica D. Zayas, Judge.
Carlos J. Martinez, Public Defender, and Natasha Baker-Bradley, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Kayla H. McNab, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Before ROTHENBERG, C.J., and SALTER and LOGUE, JJ.
PER CURIAM. The officer had reasonable suspicion to stop Appellant and the other two
juveniles given the be-on-the-look-out transmission, the juveniles’ geographic and
temporal proximity to the armed robbery, the match between the suspects’ reported
descriptions and the juveniles’ appearances, and the juveniles’ behavior when
approached; and, once the firearm was discovered, the officer had probable cause
to arrest. Therefore, the officer was engaged in the execution of a legal duty when
Appellant knocked him to the ground in an apparent attempt to escape. W.T.’s
convictions are affirmed. See §§ 776.051, 784.07, 843.01, Fla. Stat.; Sosnowski v.
State, 245 So. 3d 885 (Fla. 1st DCA 2018); State v. Roy, 944 So. 2d 403 (Fla. 3d
DCA 2006).
Affirmed.
