After plea negotiations, the state reduced the charge to armed false imprisonment, accessory after the fact and resisting an officer with violence to his person, to which the defendant pled nolo. Upon the plea bargain, he was sentenced to a term of probation, which among other things contained a condition that required cooperation with the state in another prosecution. At the time of the plea colloquy, the trial court clearly indicated that if the cooperation was not forthcoming, the defendant could face up to 15 years. After the sentencing, the defendant failed to cooperate. A violation of probation was filed and the trial court sentenced the defendant to 7 years. This appeal ensued.
Therefore, for the reasons above stated, the order of revocation and sentence under review be and the same is hereby affirmed.
Affirmed.
