_________________________________________________________________

     The defendant, Michael Levan, was charged with theft.  720
ILCS 5/16--1 (West 1994).  He moved to dismiss on the ground of
double jeopardy.  The trial court denied the motion, and the
defendant was later convicted.  On appeal, the defendant argues
that the charge should have been dismissed.  We reverse. 
     The record shows that on March 18, 1994, the defendant was
charged in Illinois with theft.  The Illinois charge alleged that
on March 4, 1994, the defendant unlawfully obtained control over
some Tiffany lamps in Peoria County.  
     On March 24, 1994, the defendant was charged with theft in
Arizona.  The Arizona charge alleged that from March 14 to March
17, 1994, the defendant unlawfully controlled two Tiffany lamps
while in Maricopa County, Arizona.  On November 22, 1994, the
defendant pled guilty in Arizona to attempted theft of the lamps
and was sentenced to 3
