Syllabus

The trial court erred by sentencing appellant to pay a $25 fine without first considering his present and future ability to pay the fine. The trial court also erred by issuing a sentencing entry that incorrectly stated the manner of appellant's conviction. The judgment is reversed insofar as it ordered appellant to pay a $25 fine. The matter is remanded to the trial court for a determination of appellant's present and future ability to pay the fine, resentencing on that issue, and to reflect the correct manner of appellant's conviction in the new sentencing entry that is issued following remand. In all other respects, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
