v.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
KEITH COLEMAN, APPELLANT,
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
208 So. 3d 1268
Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2017)
Opinion of the Court
Because the record supports the trial court’s finding that the Defendant violated his probation, we affirm. See State v. Carter, 835 So.2d 259, 262 (Fla. 2002) (noting that a violation of probation must be proven by the greater weight of the evidence); Jennings v. State, 124 So.3d 257, 262 (Fla. 3d DCA 2013) (“To prove constructive possession, the State must present competent, substantial evidence of the accused’s knowledge of the presence of contraband and his or her ability to exercise dominion and control over it.”); cf. Thompson v. State, 172 So.3d 527 (Fla. 3d DCA 2015) (constructive possession not proven for knife hidden in unlocked barracks-style dormitory room).
Affirmed.
