Opinion

NORTHCUTT, Judge.

A jury convicted William Cozzens of burgling a dwelling. On appeal, he chai-' lenges the trial court’s decision to allow into evidence a statement Cozzens ma.de to police. We find no, error in this ruling, and we affirm the conviction. But. the State and we agree with Cozzens’s additional complaint that the court imposed restitution without holding a hearing. We reverse the order and judgment of restitution. On remand the court may- reimpose restitution only if it first conducts a restitution hearing.

Affirmed in part, reversed in, part, and remanded.
