JESSIE JENKINS, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
Jessie Jenkins appeals from a judgment of guilty of petit theft and sentence of one year in prison.
We hold that it was fundamental error mandating reversal for the trial court to adjudicate and sentence Jenkins for a first degree misdemeanor theft when the State failed to allege the element making that theft a first degree misdemeanor. See Clay v. State, 595 So. 2d 1052 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992); Hauss v. State, 592 So. 2d 783 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992); Meenaghan v. State, 601 So. 2d 307 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992).
We reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent herewith.
GLICKSTEIN, C.J., KLEIN, J., and WALDEN, JAMES H., Senior Judge, concur.

Although evidence of appellant’s prior theft conviction was entered without objection, the information failed to contain an allegation of prior theft. The error is fundamental, and can be raised at any time. See Jenkins v. State, 617 So. 2d 836 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993). Accordingly, we affirm appellant’s convictions for petit theft and resisting an officer without violence. We reverse appellant’s sentence for petit theft and remand for resentencing as a second degree misdemeanor. AFFIRMED IN…

Harris v. State, 698 So. 2d 343 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997)…s a second-degree misdemeanor, but did not refer to any prior theft conviction to warrant reclassification as a first-degree misdemeanor. See § 812.014(3)(b), Fla. Stat. (1995); Lewellen v. State, 682 So. 2d 186 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996); Jenkins v. State, 617 So. 2d 836 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993).
