The trial court erred when it advised defendant he faced a 36-month prison term if he violated the terms of his probation where the maximum prison term for two felonies of the fifth degree is 24 months. The trial court abused its discretion when it imposed as a condition of defendant's community control the prohibition against being anywhere alcohol is sold, served, or used, where there was no connection between defendant's offenses and alcohol and the prohibition bore no relationship to defendant's rehabilitation or future criminality.
