No. 87-3105
Before FERGUSON, COPE and GERSTEN, JJ.
546 So. 2d 786 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1989) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

A “split sentence” of probation and incarceration cannot exceed the maximum term of imprisonment for the offense charged. State v. Holmes, 360 So. 2d 380 (Fla.1978). In modifying and extending the defendant’s probationary period, the court imposed the functional equivalent of a seven-year sentence for an offense which is punishable by a maximum five-year sentence. The State concedes the error. Reversed and remanded for a correction of the sentence.
