STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Alexander BAEZ, Appellee.
    No. 97-00864.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Dec. 24, 1997.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Tonja R. Vickers, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellant.
    James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Kevin Briggs, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The State appeals the trial court’s order suppressing statements made by the defendant, Alexander Baez. In its ruling, the trial court relied on State v. Guthrie, 666 So.2d 562 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995). Subsequently, the supreme court reversed Guthrie, citing its recent decision in Sapp v. State, 690 So.2d 581 (Fla.1997). See State v. Guthrie, 692 So.2d 888 (Fla.1997). Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s order granting the defendant’s motion to suppress and remand for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded.

PARKER, C.J., and PATTERSON and FULMER, JJ., concur.
