No. 1D21-103
_____________________________
JOSHUA TRELEE COLLIE,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County.
Jennie Kinsey, Judge.
January 12, 2022
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See Bennett v. State, 111 So. 3d 983, 986 (Fla. 1st
DCA 2013) (recognizing that “a well-trained dog’s alert establishes
a fair probability—all that is required for probable cause—that
either drugs or evidence of a drug crime . . . will be found”) (quoting
Florida v. Harris, 133 S.Ct. 1050, 1057 (2013)); see also Owens v.
State, 317 So. 3d 1218, 1220 (Fla. 2d DCA 2021) (holding that
“regardless of whether the smell of marijuana is indistinguishable
from that of hemp, the smell . . . from a vehicle continues to provide
probable cause for a warrantless search of the vehicle”); Johnson
v. State, 275 So. 3d 800, 802 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019) (noting that “the
possibility that a driver might be a medical-marijuana user would
not automatically defeat probable cause”).
ROWE, C.J., and OSTERHAUS and WINOKUR, JJ., concur.
