MANN, Judge.

The trial judge did not follow Boykin v. Alabama, 1969, 395 U.S. ‍​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‍238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274, and the guilty plea received cannot stand without a record supporting its voluntariness. Appellant’s contention that she was promised ‍​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‍probation if she would waive extradition from Ohio and plead guilty is disputed by the State, which claims that no promises were made. ‍​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‍It is clear, however, that the State’s agents discussed probation with appellant’s Ohio counsel, were advised that she would be accepted as a ‍​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‍probationer there and there is here at least the degree of misunderstanding present in Brown v. State, Fla. 1971, 245 So.2d 41.

Reversed and remanded with ‍​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‍directions to vacate the guilty plea.
