PER CURIAM.

We align ourselves with the second district, Buckle v. State, 528 So.2d 1285 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988); Brown v. State, 492 So.2d 822 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986), and the first district, Watson v. State, 528 So.2d 101 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988); Reams v. State, 528 So.2d 558 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988), in holding that the maximum sentence a court may impose after revocation of a youthful-offender's probation or community control is the six-year limitation period of the statute. § 958.14, Fla. Stat. (1987).

On a second point we hold that, upon revocation of the release to community control, a defendant is entitled to credit for all the time served in incarceration prior to the revocation. Richards v. State, 521 So.2d 292, 293 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988); Pendergrass v. State, 487 So.2d 35, 36 (Fla. 4th DCA 1986).

Reversed and remanded for resentencing in accordance with these holdings.
