¶1On Motion fob Rehearing

PER CURIAM.

¶2We grant appellant’s motion for rehearing, withdraw our previously issued opinion and substitute the following in its place.

¶3Appellant challenges his conviction for fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer under section 316.1935(3)(a), Florida Statutes (2006), claiming that the state failed to prove an essential element of the crime, namely that a patrol vehicle in the chase had “agency insignia and other jurisdictional markings prominently displayed on the vehicle.... ” We agree that the state failed to put on proof of this statutory element, requiring reversal. See Ers*935kine v. State, 23 So.3d 1207, 1208-09 (Fla. 3d DCA 2009); Jackson v. State, 818 So.2d 539, 542 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002); Gorsuch v. State, 797 So.2d 649, 650-51 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001). We therefore reverse with directions to reduce the conviction to a third degree felony under 316.1935(1).

¶4We affirm as to appellant’s challenge to his habitual offender qualification offenses, finding that the state sufficiently proved them and that appellant’s attorney conceded that appellant qualified for habitual offender status.

¶5Affirmed in part; reversed in part and remanded for resentencing in accordance with this opinion.
