KAREN R. BAKER, Judge.
A Washington County jury convicted appellant, Darren Wayne Hawkins, of second-degree battery and sentenced him to seventy-two months' imprisonment in the Arkansas Department of Correction. He raises one point on appeal, arguing that the trial court erred by failing to warn him sufficiently of the dangers and disadvantages of waiving his right to counsel and proceeding at trial pro se. We agree and therefore reverse and remand.
