Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Lambert finds the lower court properly revoked defendant’s probation, but improperly calculated the resulting sentence. Defendant was convicted in three separate cases and was sentenced to community control. When defendant violated the terms of his probation, he was ordered by the lower court to serve a split sentence of 30 months in prison, followed by 24 months of drug offender probation, on all counts in each case, to be served concurrently. While the instant court agrees with the probation revocation, the sentence must be amended so as not to exceed the statutory five-year cap; therefore, defendant is entitled to probation credit for the amount of time her served in excess of six months in his two earliest cases, to be credited against his 24 months of drug offender probation. Judgment in the third case is affirmed. Reversed in part.
