McCORD, Judge.

This is an appeal from judgment and sentence of appellant for injuring telephone ‍​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‍lines in violation of § 822.10, Florida Statutes, and breaking or injuring fences in violation of § 821.09, Florida Statutes. Each of these offenses is a felony in the ‍​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‍third degree and carries a maximum penalty of five years in the state prison. Appellant was sentenced to concurrent sentences of seven years on each offense as a ‍​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‍second or subsequent offender but the procedure in prosecutions for such offenders as set forth in § 775.11, Florida Statutes, was not complied with. The convictions of appellant ‍​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‍are affirmed but the sentences are reversed and vacated and the cause is remanded with directions to enter legal sentences for the convictions giving appellant credit for ‍​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‍all time served on the illegal sentences.
