Scott was arrested for the crimes of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Scott was previously convicted of burglary, theft, assault, and several drug offenses. He previously served a 1-year prison sentence for the burglary conviction. Scott was only out of prison 4 months before he was arrested on these new charges. Prior to his first prison sentence, Scott was on probation for his theft, assault, and drug charges. Scott decided that he was going to reject the plea deal offered by the prosecutor of 2 years in prison. Instead, he opts for a trial, where he is found guilty by a jury after 2 hours of deliberation. The judge imposes a 4-year sentence for the aggravated assault and a 1-year sentence for the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The judge informs Scott that the sentences will be imposed at the same time, but they will be served one after the other. Therefore, Scott must serve 5 years in state prison. What type of sentences will Scott be serving?
