Syllabus

The trial court erred when it made findings of guilt on Chiles' no contest pleas to the offenses of failing to stop, driving under suspension, and no operator's license where there was no explanation of circumstances and Chiles did not expressly waive the explanation of circumstances. Additionally, double jeopardy attaches, prohibiting a new determination of guilt or innocence on these offenses.
