1. “The trial court in this case was required to designate appellant’s offense at the time of judgment and to inform appellant of the possibilities when he entered his plea. The judgment of conviction and sentence are vacated and the matter is re manded. Should the trial court, on remand, accept a plea agreement, the court must designate appellant’s offense as either a class 1 misdemeanor or a class 4 felony at the time the judgment is entered and sentence appellant accordingly.”
