State v. Ketchum
Opinion
The State of Florida appeals the trial court’s withhold of adjudication of the conviction against Scott Ketchum for one count of grand theft in the first degree; in violation of section 812.014(2)(a), Florida Statutes (2007). Section 775.08435, Florida Statutes (2007), prohibits a withhold of [198]*198adjudication for first-degree felonies. Accordingly, we reverse the order withholding adjudication. Because the sentence was part of a plea offer by the trial court, Ketchum shall be offered the opportunity to withdraw his plea on remand.
Reversed and remanded.
