399 So. 2d 402

S. P. v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1981-06-02

Relies on 381 So. 2d 342 - Johnson v. State

Decided 1981-06-02

PER CURIAM.

¶1The defendant’s adjudication of delinquency for possession of more than five grams of marijuana must be reversed because the circumstantial evidence of joint or constructive possession is entirely inadequate to establish that the juvenile had either knowledge of or the ability to control the contraband so as to establish criminal possession. Johnson v. State, 381 So.2d 342 (Fla.3d DCA 1980) and cases cited therein.

¶2Reversed and remanded with directions to discharge the juvenile.
