Charles Lee Moultrie, Jr. appeals his judgment and sentence, which stems from the revocation of his probation for a new law violation. Moultrie argues the trial court erred in denying a dispositive motion to suppress, which led to the revocation, and in imposing a $100 cost under section 938.27(8), Florida Statutes, at sentencing. We affirm the judgment and sentence. Further, the trial court’s imposition of the $100 cost under section 938.27(8) was mandatory, and therefore appropriate. See Parks v. State, 371 So. 3d 392 (Fla. 1st DCA 2023), review granted in Parks v. State of Florida, No. SC2023-1355 (Fla. Jan. 31, 2024).
AFFIRMED.
