Jones v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Jones v. State, 582 So. 2d 181 (1991)
1991 Fla. App. LEXIS 7511; 1991 WL 134065
Garrett, Hersey, Stone
Jones v. State
Opinion of the Court
We reverse appellant’s sentence of four years in prison followed by two years of community control as an upward departure from the sentencing guidelines not supported by written reasons. See State v. Betancourt, 552 So.2d 1107 (Fla.), approving in part Betancourt v. State, 550 So.2d 1121 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989); State v. Mestas, 507 So.2d 587 (Fla. 1987). Our review of the record leads us to conclude that the trial court did not realize that the sentence was a departure. Accordingly, on remand, the trial court shall either set forth valid reasons for departure or sentence appellant
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
