No. 2D06-2759.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Rehearing Denied June 20, 2007.

Opinion:
ALTENBERND, Judge.
Lawrence Terrell appeals a judgment for possession of cocaine, entered after the trial court denied Mr. Terrell's dispositive motion to suppress. The cocaine was seized during a search incident to Mr. Terrell's arrest. Although from the record it is a very close question whether the officers had probable cause to arrest Mr. Terrell for disorderly conduct, see Barry v. State, 934 So.2d 656, 657-58 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006), the officers clearly had probable cause to arrest him for filing a false report, see § 817.49, Fla. Stat. (2005). We therefore affirm the judgment and sentence.
Affirmed.
WHATLEY and DAVIS, JJ., Concur.
