A Shelby County Grand Jury returned an indictment against Defendant, James Johnson a.k.a. Guy Bonner, charging him with aggravated burglary, theft of property more than $500 but less than $1,000, and resisting arrest. Following a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of aggravated burglary, theft of property less than $500, and resisting arrest. The trial court imposed a sentence of 11 months, 29 days each for the theft conviction and the resisting arrest conviction and fifteen years as a persistent offender for aggravated burglary. The trial court ordered the sentences to be served concurrently to each other but consecutively to the sentences in unrelated cases. On appeal, Defendant argues that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions and that the State failed to give proper notice of its intent to seek enhanced punishment. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm defendant’s convictions for aggravated burglary, theft over $500, and resisting arrest. However, we remand the case for entry of a corrected judgment showing a sentence of six months, concurrent with the sentences for aggravated burglary and theft over $500, for the Class B misdemeanor of resisting arrest.
