2. “As we read it, this section permits the trial court to impose a consecutive sentence when a suspended sentence is activated upon revocation of a probationary judgment without regard to whether the sentence previously imposed ran concurrently or consecutively. Thus, under this section, the trial court in the present case had the authority to order defendant’s sentence for felonious breaking and entering to be served consecutively to his sentence for possession of stolen goods.”
