Brooks v. State of Florida; November 18, 2009; 2nd DCA
Brooks was seen riding a bicycle in the early morning. The victim contacted 911 stating that he observed a suspicious person outside of his home. About ten minutes later victim saw Brooks jump the fence and flee the scene where a shed was located. Brooks ran in the direction of the police officer. Upon contact with law enforcement, Brooks was found wearing gloves and carrying a flashlight. Additionally, outside the shed was a crowbar. In this case, the fact that the crowbar was found outside the shed and by the bicycle did not support a conviction for possession of burglary tools. The shed was open and there was no evidence supporting the use of the crowbar into the shed or the fenced in area. As for the flashlight, there was no evidence showing that the flashlight was used to see inside the shed or commit a crime. Brooks conviction for Possession of Burglary Tools was overturned.
