DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA SECOND DISTRICT STACHA ELESE MADSEN, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. No. 2D21-1832 May 20, 2022 Appeal from the County Court for Pinellas County; Cathy A. McKyton, Judge. J. Andrew Crawford of J. Andrew Crawford, P.A., St. Petersburg, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Laurie Benoit- Knox, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. We affirm. See Haley v. State, 43 So. 3d 113, 116 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (holding that a tip provided by woman who identified herself by name and provided police her phone number qualifies as a tip from a citizen informant, and thus, "falls at the high end of the reliability scale because she was not anonymous"); DeLuca v. State, 40 So. 3d 120, 125 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010) ("[B]elatedly acquired facts did not blemish the reasonable police actions here. The lawfulness of DeLuca's detention depended on what the officers knew at its inception."); Castella v. State, 959 So. 2d 1285, 1291 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007) (concluding that officers were entitled to rely upon information obtained from unidentified boaters, whom they spoke with face-to-face and identified Castella's boat as being involved in accident where the boaters were "more akin to citizen informants than anonymous tipsters," as they fulfilled their civic duty in reporting an accident); Carattini v. State, 774 So. 2d 927, 929–30 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001) (acknowledging that "[a]lthough the identity of the informant was never ascertained, that fact is not dispositive" and the holding that the unidentified woman who gave her witness account face-to-face to an officer was a citizen informant).
