Affirmed as modified.
Justice:

Voidness of portion of Defendant's sentence of five years, which was beyond statutory three years maximum, does not render his plea agreement and conviction for aggravated driving under influence of cocaine void. Once the sentence is corrected, no wrongs to a Defendant remain to be corrected, and the conviction can stand. That the correction comes too late, after Defendant has served his five-year sentence, does not make any other remedy necessary. (BOWMAN and ZENOFF, concurring.)
