OPINION
WADE, Judge.
The defendant, James W. Eaves, was convicted of aggravated assault. The trial court imposed a Range I, five-year, three-month sentence to be served in the workhouse. The sentence was ordered to be served consecutively to prior sentences for aggravated burglary and contempt of court. A $5,000.00 fine was imposed.
In this appeal of right, the defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence and argues that the trial court committed error by warning a defense witness about a possible perjury charge.
We reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand for a new trial.
