Dennis ARNOLD, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 89-1132.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Jan. 16, 1991.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Susan D. Cline, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Sylvia Alonso, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   LETTS, Judge.

We reverse and remand for a new trial. The reasons given by the prosecutor to justify the exercise of the peremptory challenge of a black juror are not supported anywhere in the record. See State v. Neil, 457 So.2d 481 (Fla.1984); Floyd v. State, 569 So.2d 1225 (Fla.1990).

REVERSED and REMANDED.

POLEN, J., concurs.

WARNER, J., concurs specially with opinion.

WARNER, Judge,

concurs specially.

I concur in the reversal. However, on retrial I believe it would be error to admit the contents of a BOLO which described the defendant based on State v. Baird, 572 So.2d 904 (Fla.1990), and Harris v. State, 544 So.2d 322 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989).
