    STATE OF FLORIDA
    _____________________________
    No. 1D17-4376
    _____________________________
    ALTAONY LEMOR CASON,
    Appellant,
    v.
    STATE OF FLORIDA,
    Appellee.
    _____________________________
    On appeal from the Circuit Court for Alachua County.
    Phillip A. Pena, Judge.
    January 14, 2019
    PER CURIAM.
    Altaony Cason argues that his two convictions for resisting an
    officer without violence violate the prohibition against double
    jeopardy because both convictions were based on one continuous
    criminal episode, albeit involving two officers. The State concedes
    error, and we agree. E.g., R.J.R. v. State, 
    88 So. 3d 264
    , 266–68
    (Fla. 1st DCA 2012); D.A.R. v. State, 
    22 So. 3d 850
    , 851 (Fla. 4th
    DCA 2009); Fogle v. State, 
    754 So. 2d 878
    , 879 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000).
    We reverse and remand for the trial court to vacate one of the
    convictions. See Johnson v. State, 
    246 So. 3d 1277
     (Fla. 1st DCA
    2018).
    ROWE, OSTERHAUS, and KELSEY, JJ., concur.
    _____________________________
    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
