PER CURIAM.
Appellant, the State of Florida, contends that the trial court erred in granting the motion to dismiss filed by appellee/defend-ant, Johnny Wardlow. We agree.
After appellee filed a motion to dismiss a one-count information charging him with making a false statement for the purpose of obtaining food stamps, in violation of Section 409.325, Florida Statutes (Supp.1976), the state filed a sworn traverse which specifically denied the factual allegations contained in the motion. Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.190(d) states in pertinent part: “A motion to dismiss under paragraph (c)(4) of this rule shall be denied if the state files a traverse which denies under oath a material fact alleged in the motion to dismiss.” Accordingly, the trial court should have denied the motion, and it was error to dismiss the information. See State v. News-Press Publishing Co., 338 So. 2d 1313 (Fla. 2d DCA 1976).
We reverse the trial court’s order and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
BOARDMAN, C. J., and HOBSON and GRIMES, JJ., concur.

Williams v. State, 522 So. 2d 983 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988)…apable of surviving safely in freedom by herself or with the help of others, should never be involuntarily committed. In re Beverly, 342 So. 2d 481 (Fla.1977). The mere need for treatment alone is insufficient to commit an individual. Neff v. State, 356 So. 2d 901 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978). The trial court, however, retains continuing jurisdiction to order placement upon a sufficient showing by the state that the statutory criteria are met. Therefore, the order of involuntary placement is REVERSED. MILLS and WE…
