Cody Allen appeals that portion of his judgment and sentence imposing a condition of probation requiring him to reimburse the Columbia County Sheriff's Department for medical expenses in the amount of $16.95. Mr. Allen seeks reversal of the restitution order under the authority of Comeau v. State, 611 So.2d 68 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992), in which this court held that the county had a duty to provide medical care to a prisoner in its custody and reversed an order imposing an obligation to reimburse the sheriff's office for medical care as a condition of probation. Although the defendant in Comeau pleaded guilty pursuant to a negotiated plea, id., that case is distinguishable from the instant case because Comeau did not agree to reimburse the cost of medical care as a part of the plea agreement. Here, in contrast, Mr. Allen's plea bargain included, as a specific component, the obligation to reimburse the sheriff's office for these medical costs. Mr. Allen bargained for this obligation and thereby waived any objection to the legality of a sentence containing this condition of probation. Having accepted the benefits of his plea bargain, Mr. Allen will not be relieved of his burdens under the contract. See Novaton v. State, 634 So.2d 607, 608 (Fla.1994); see also Mann v. State, 622 So.2d 595, 596-97 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993) ().
AFFIRMED.
