VanKooten v. StateVanKooten v. State
VanKooten pled guilty to burglary of a dwelling,1 and the state nolle prossed a grand theft charge.2 His guidelines scoresheet totaled sixty (60) points, yielding a presumptive guidelines sentence of “community control or twelve to thirty months incarceration.” VanKooten was sentenced to thirty months incarceration, followed by two years community control, followed by ten and one-half years probation. This case is governed by our recent decision in Hankey v. State, 505 So.2d 701 (Fla. 5th DCA 1987).
Sentencing VanKooten to both community control and incarceration represents a departure from the sentencing guidelines which is improper absent written reasons for such departure. Therefore we vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing.
