PER CURIAM.

The issue presented by this appeal is whether the ‍‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍trial court erred in charging and sentencing the appellant under § 811.-16, Fla.Stat., rather than under § 817.67 (1), Fla.Stat. The appellant’s ‍‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍contention is that he should have been charged and sentenced under the latter statute. The appellant has cited Lore ‍‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍v. State, Fla.App. 1972, 267 So.2d 699 and Strada v. State, Fla.App. 1972, 267 So.2d 702 in support of this proposition.

We think, however, ‍‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍that the better reasoning appears in State v. McCurdy, Fla.App.1972, 257 So.2d 92 and McConnell v. State, Fla.App. 1974, 298 So.2d 550, and ‍‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍we affirm upon the authority of the views therein expressed.

Affirmed.
