Description
Having entered pleas of guilty to robbery and aggravated assault, Michael Miller was sentenced to serve concurrent terms of imprisonment for not less than six months nor more than twenty-three months and was placed on immediate parole. He was also sentenced to serve two probationary terms of five years each for unlawful restraint and possession of an instrument of crime. The probation was to commence upon completion of the sentences for robbery and assault and be consecutive thereto. While appellant was on parole but before the probationary period had commenced, he committed new offenses which included assault, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime and prostitution. Because of convictions on these new charges, Miller's parole and probation were revoked. He was ordered to serve the balance of his sentence of imprisonment for robbery and assault and was sentenced to serve consecutively two terms of imprisonment for not less than two and one-half years nor more than five years on the convictions for unlawful restraint and possession of an instrument of crime. On appeal, Miller concedes that he violated his parole but contends that the court erred in revoking his probation and imposing a sentence of imprisonment in lieu thereof. He could not have violated his probation, he argues, because he was not on probation when the new offenses were committed. He also argues that the new sentence violated principles of double jeopardy. We reject appellant's arguments and affirm the judgment of sentence.
