¶1

Appelwick, A.C.J.

— Matthew Melick contends that his convictions for taking of a motor vehicle (TMV) and possession of stolen property (PSP) for possessing that *838same vehicle violate double jeopardy. The State concedes that both convictions should not stand, but urges the court to vacate the TMV conviction, as it has a lower standard range. We remand for vacation of the PSP conviction, as such a result is required by case law. We also reject Melick’s challenge to the police reports, as Melick stipulated to the use of those reports when he agreed to enter drug court.
