Opinion filed March 27, 2020

PER CURIAM.

We affirm Derek Levon O’Neal’s judgment and sentence. However, we remand for the trial court to strike the $100 investigative cost assessed pursuant to section 938.27(1), Florida Statutes (2019), and imposed as a "standard" cost. "Trial courts may impose investigatory costs, but only when requested by the State or agency involved." Rogers v. State , 289 So.3d 548 (Fla. 5th DCA 2020) (internal citations omitted); accord Richards v. State , 288 So. 3d 574 (Fla. 2020).

AFFIRMED; REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
