The court held that remand period must be credited when imposing sentence; the plea of guilty and first offender status are mitigating factors but do not preclude imposition of the statutory maximum where the court, after considering all factors, exercises its discretion to impose such a sentence; consequently the cross-appeal for heavier sentence failed and the accused's appeal against sentence was dismissed after remand credit was applied.
