    John BRYANT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 87-02391.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Jan. 26, 1990.
    James Marion Moorman, Public Defender and Robert D. Rosen, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee and William I. Munsey, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant’s split sentence of four and one-half years in prison, followed by five years probation, exceeds the statutory maximum for the offense of conviction, felony petit theft. See Gerow v. State, 516 So.2d 326 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987). Accordingly, we remand this case for resentenc-ing. The conviction itself, which is not contested, is affirmed.

CAMPBELL, C.J., and RYDER and DANAHY, JJ., concur. 
      
      A felony of the third degree. § 812.014(2)(d), Fla.Stat. (1987).
