Valdez v. State

LaROSE, Judge.

Valdemar Valdez, Jr., appeals his convictions and seven-year prison sentence for possession of cannabis, possession of drug paraphernalia, and introduction of contraband into a detention facility. See §§ 898.13(6)(b), 893.147(1), 951.22(1), Fla. Stat. (2018). We have jurisdiction. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.140(b)(1)(A). Because the trial court fundamentally erred in instructing the jury on introduction of contraband into a detention facility, we reverse and remand for a new trial on that charge. We affirm, without further discussion, as to all other issues raised by Mr. Valdez.
