1Opinion of the Court

BLUE, Judge.

The State appeals the downward departure sentence imposed on Eric L. Cur*822rington in circuit court case number 95-09187. Currington concedes that the sentence must be reversed because the trial court failed to provide written reasons in support of the departure sentence. Because we are reversing a sentence that was based on a plea agreement with the trial judge, Currington must be given an opportunity to withdraw his plea. See State v.
