PER CURIAM.
The order modifying and extending the appellant’s probation is reversed. See Van Wagner v. State, 677 So.2d 314 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996). Because the prior probationary term was set to expire on November 9, 2018, on remand the appellant’s probation shall be deemed to have terminated as of that2013 date. REVERSED.
PADOVANO and WETHERELL, JJ. concur, and SWANSON, J., concurs WITH OPINION.
SWANSON, J.,
CONCURRING.
A trial court has broad discretion to decide if a probationer has violated a condition of probation. Williamson v. State, 43 So.3d 843 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010). However, “[t]o establish a violation of probation, the prosecution must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that a probationer willfully violated a substantial condition of probation.” Van Wagner v. State, 677 So.2d 314, 316 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996). That did not happen in this case. The trial court made no finding that appellant had willfully and substantially violated the terms of probation. Frankly, based on a review of the record, the evidence would not have supported such a finding.
