Description
In these consolidated cases, we are asked to decide whether concurrent sentences for grand larceny and escape can be converted into consecutive sentences after the defendant has violated probation. For reasons explained below, we hold that they cannot. The sentences are vacated, and each case is remanded for resentencing. William C. Mendenhall was convicted by a jury of grand larceny. While confined in the Clearwater Countyjail to await sentencing, he escaped. Several years later, he was arrested. He pled guilty to escape under I.C. § 18-2505. A presentence investigation disclosed no other criminal conduct while Mendenhall had been a fugitive. The presentence report portrayed Mendenhall as a family man with regular employment. Former employers and neighbors wrote letters to the court urging leniency. Neither the grand larceny nor the escape had involved violence.
