Syllabus

SENTENCING: When sentencing an offender for violations of community-control sanctions imposed for more than one offense, the trial court must notify the offender of the specific prison term that may be imposed as to each offense for an additional violation, as a prerequisite to imposing a prison term on the offender for a subsequent violation. The sentences the trial court imposed upon defendant for community-control violations on two offenses were contrary to law where the court had not notified defendant of the specific prison term it would impose as to each offense for a subsequent community-control violation.
