Description
The defendant, Joseph T. Mahle, pleaded guilty to two informations in the circuit court of La Salle County, which charged him, in a total of eight counts, with deceptive practices, and in one count with violation of bail bond. On the deceptive practices charges the court entered an order which sentenced him to serve a five-year probation, upon condition, among other things, that the first year of the probationary period be served at the State Penal Farm, Vandalia, and which ordered restitution in the amount of $1,138.86, plus court costs of $385.40. Probation was denied on the conviction of violation of bail bond, and the defendant was sentenced to serve a term of one year at the State Penal Farm, Vandalia, the term to be concurrent with that being served as a condition of probation on the deceptive practices conviction. The appellate court affirmed the convictions and approved the probationary terms and sentencing. (9 Ill. App.3d 166 (1972).) The statement of facts in the appellate court opinion is adequate and is hereby adopted. The defendant contends before us that the informations charging deceptive practices were fatally defective; that the term of probation ordering him to serve the first year of his probationary period at the State Penal Farm, Vandalia, is improper under the Unified Code of Corrections (Ill. Rev. Stat., 1972 Supp., ch. 38, par. 1005-6-3(d)); and that the sentence of the trial court was excessive.
