Danhof, P. J.
(concurring in part, dissenting in part). I would concur with the finding of the majority as to the second count that the trial court committed reversible error in not giving the defendant the requisite notice.
However, I would also vote to reverse and remand for a hearing on the first count. Under the circumstances of this case, it is difficult to see how the defendant intelligently waived the notice necessary to reasonably prepare for the hearing. He was picked up by the police on the coat charge and incarcerated for three weeks. Then, on March 10, 1975, he obtained counsel, received notice of his violations, and was brought before the trial court. Due process requires adequate notice before any hearing is held which has the consequences of the one in the present case.
