Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in revoking appellant's community control as the state presented substantial evidence that appellant failed to comply with the terms of his community control. Although the trial court did not provide a written statement of the evidence relied upon in revoking community control, appellant was not deprived of due process as the trial court provided an oral statement of the evidence and reasons for revoking community control. The trial court's sentencing decision deviated from the amount of prison time appellant was told he would receive if he violated the terms of his community control therefore the trial court should issue a nunc pro tunc entry to correct its mistake so that the sentencing entry accurately reflects its pronouncements at the initial sentencing hearing.
