OPINION BY

STEVENS, P.J.

The Commonwealth appeals the Order entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Columbia/Montour County, which gave Ap-pellee Dereck Martz credit for January 21, 2010 to August 12, 2011, when he was at liberty due to a clerical error. 1 For the reasons discussed infra, we conclude the trial court erred in awarding credit for the time Appellee was erroneously at liberty. Thus, we vacate the trial court’s sentencing order as it relates to credit for “time served” and remand with specific instructions. In all other respects, we affirm.
