In this Anders* appeal, we affirm the judgment and sentence imposed by the trial court. However, we find that the trial court imposed an unrequested and unannounced $100 cost of investigation. This cost should be struck. See Anderson v. State, 380 So. 3d 1256 (Fla. 5th DCA 2024).
AFFIRMED; REMANDED with instructions to strike unrequested and unannounced $100 cost of investigation.
MAKAR, JAY, and KILBANE, JJ., concur.
