VANCE GARY GETTIS,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Okaloosa County.
Michael A. Flowers, Judge.
February 3, 2020
PER CURIAM.
Vance Gary Gettis challenges the revocation of his probation.
We affirm the revocation and sentence which followed, but remand
the cause for entry of a written order.
In revoking probation, the trial court orally found Gettis is a
violent felony offender of special concern. Section 948.06(8)(e)1,
Florida Statutes (2015), requires a trial court to make a written
finding that violent felony offender of special concern poses a
danger to the community. Because the trial court articulated a
valid ground for designating Gettis as a violent felony offender of
special concern, we affirm but remand for entry of a written order
that conforms to its oral pronouncements. See Glenn v. State, 219
So. 3d 1010 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017); Arnone v. State, 204 So. 3d 556
(Fla. 4th DCA 2016); Bell v. State, 150 So. 3d 1214 (Fla. 5th DCA
2014); Martin v. State, 87 So. 3d 813 (Fla. 2d DCA 2012).
AFFIRMED and REMANDED.
ROBERTS, BILBREY, and WINOKUR, JJ., concur.
