PER CURIAM

Conviction affirmed; remanded for resentencing.


Defendant appeals his conviction for menacing, a misdemeanor. ORS 163.190. He contends that the court erred by admitting certain evidence and by imposing a jail sentence as a condition of probation. The court did not err by admitting the challenged testimony; we address only the sentence.

The court imposed two years' probation to the court and 60 days in jail as a condition of probation. The prosecutor informed the court that, under former ORS 137.540(2) and State v. Wold, 105 Or. App. 158, 803 P.2d 782 (1991), it could not impose a jail term as a condition of probation. The court concluded that, if it did not impose formal probation, it could impose a jail term. The state concedes, and we accept the concession, that Wold applies to informal probation as well as to formal probation and that the sentence was unlawful.

After the sentencing here, ORS 137.540(2) was amended. 1991 Or Laws, ch 196.

Conviction affirmed; remanded for resentencing.
