Judge(s): SMITH

Appellant, Robert King Vaughn, Jr., pled guilty to aggravated burglary and theft in case number F-64238 and aggravated burglary in case number F-68086 in Rutherford County Circuit Court. As a result, in case number F-64238, Appellant was ordered to serve 90 days in incarceration and the remainder of a four-year sentence on probation. In case number F- 68086, Appellant was sentenced to thirteen years. The sentence was suspended and Appellant was ordered to serve the term on Community Corrections. A warrant was filed against Appellant for a violation of the terms of the Community Corrections sentence and probation. After a hearing, the trial court ordered Appellant to serve the remainder of the four-year sentence and thirteen-year sentence in incarceration. Appellant appeals. After a review of the record and applicable authorities, we affirm the judgments of the trial court but remand the matter to the trial court for correction of the order revoking Appellant’s Community Corrections sentence in case number F-68086 to reflect a violation of Community Corrections rather than probation.
