737 So. 2d 615 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1999)

Opinion

No. 97-4509.

Opinion filed July 22, 1999.

An appeal from the Circuit Court of Escambia County. Joseph Tarbuck, Judge.

Nancy Daniels, Public Defender, and Glen P. Gifford, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Glen P. Gifford, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


We affirm the order finding that appellant violated his probation. Because appellant received a split sentence totaling the maximum time available for the underlying second degree felony, the sentence must be corrected to show that appellant is entitled to credit for time spent on probation, as well as credit for time spent in jail awaiting sentencing for the violation of probation.

AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.

BARFIELD, C.J. and KAHN and DAVIS, JJ., CONCUR.
