Appellant’s split sentence of four and one-half years in prison, followed by five years probation, exceeds the statutory maximum for the offense of conviction, felony petit theft.* See Gerow v. State, 516 So.2d 326 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987). Accordingly, we remand this case for resentenc-ing. The conviction itself, which is not contested, is affirmed.
