District Court Offenses. If an indigent defendant is without an attorney and has not waived the right to an appointed attorney, the court may not sentence the defendant to jail. Before accepting a plea of guilty or no contest the court shall in all cases comply with this rule. The court shall inform the defendant of the right to the assistance of an attorney. A subsequent charge or sentence may not be enhanced because of this conviction unless a defendant is represented by an attorney or he or she waives the right to an appointed attorney.
