Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the appellant’s conviction but reverse for resentencing. Whitehead v. State, 498 So. 2d 863 (Fla.1986). The defendant’s juvenile record may be a valid reason for departure. Myrick v. State, 497 So. 2d 728 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986); Riddle v. State, 488 So. 2d 903 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986). However, the state has not shown beyond a reasonable doubt that the sentence would have been the same without the impermissible reasons. Griffis v. State, 509 So. 2d 1104 (Fla.1987); Albritton v. State, 476 So. 2d 158 (Fla.1985).

DOWNEY, ANSTEAD and STONE, JJ., concur.
