PER CURIAM.
During closing argument, the prosecutor impermissibly commented on the defendant’s exercise of his Fifth Amendment right *69to remain silent. The error was preserved for appellate review and, thus, we reverse. See Donovan v. State, 417 So.2d 674 (Fla. 1982); Clark v. State, 363 So.2d 331 (Fla. 1978); Shannon v. State, 335 So.2d 5 (Fla. 1976); Bennett v. State, 316 So.2d 41 (Fla. 1975).
REVERSED & REMANDED FOR NEW TRIAL.
HERSEY, HURLEY and DELL, JJ., concur.
