Description
On December 8, 1981, the defendant, Jeff Smith, was arrested, convicted and sentenced in Winnebago County to six months' imprisonment and a $25 fine for driving while license revoked and speeding. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 95 1/2, pars. 6-303, 11-601(b).) The former offense is a Class A misdemeanor, the latter is punishable by a fine. The defendant was arrested at 1:45 a.m. on December 8 and taken to the Winnebago County Public Safety Building. He appeared before the circuit court later that morning at 10:30 or 11 a.m. At that time he entered a plea of guilty to charges and was sentenced as we have indicated. Later, On December 16, 1981, a motion to withdraw the defendant's guilty plea pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 604(d) (87 Ill.2d R. 604(d)) was filed on his behalf by counsel. That motion was heard and denied. Counsel for the defendant then filed a motion for reduction of sentence. After a hearing, the defendant's sentence was modified by the trial court to six months' periodic imprisonment. The defendant appealed and raises three issues: (1) whether the defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea was improperly denied; (2) whether defendant's sentence was improperly imposed, and (3) whether a corrected mittimus should be issued.
