The Villery court further indicated that this rule also applies to incarceration followed by a specified period of probation. However, we conclude that Villery applies only where incarceration and probation are imposed for the same offense,[1] and does not prohibit incarceration for a year (or more) followed by a period of probation imposed for a separate offense, as in the present case.

¶6The order appealed is affirmed.
