¶1Leroy Toombs has appealed an habitual offender sentence imposed after his conviction by jury of the sale of cocaine. The habitual offender statute requires that certain findings be made before the enhanced penalties afforded by that statute may be applied. § 775.084(3)(d), Fla.Stat. (1989). See Walker v. State, 462 So.2d 452 (Fla.1985); Knickerbocker v. State, 604 So.2d 876 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992); Rome v. State, 603 So.2d 723 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992). Because the trial court herein failed to make the required findings, Toombs’ sentence is reversed, and the case is remanded for resentencing.
