460 So. 2d 514

Jorge RODRIGUEZ, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 83-2456.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Dec. 11, 1984.

Juan Ramirez, Jr., Sp. Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Richard E. Doran, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before NESBITT, DANIEL S. PEARSON and JORGENSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Rodriguez appeals a revocation of probation which was based on a finding that he committed an attempted burglary. We agree with appellant that the evidence was insufficient to prove an attempted burglary because: (a) the state failed to show the intent to commit an offense within Ms. Schraader’s home; and (b) the court erred in deriving that intent from section 810.07, Florida Statutes (1981), which does not operate in the case of an attempted burglary where there is no entry. State v. Waters, 436 So.2d 66, 69-70 (Fla.1983). However, it was clearly established that the defendant entered the property and, even in the face of Ms. Schraader’s warnings that she would call the police, attempted entry through the front door, the back door, and a window. Therefore, there was sufficient competent evidence to support a finding that Rodriguez committed the offense of trespass in violation of sections 810.08(1), (2)(b) and 810.011(1), Florida Statutes (1981).1 Consequently, the revocation of *515probation is sustainable. Finding Rodriguez’ arguments about the illegality of the sentence to be without merit, the judgment and sentence are affirmed.
