Rh compelling reason nor citation to authority for support of this change, but merely asserts that Harmon is inconsistent with our earlier decision in Diffee v. State, 290 Ark. 194, 198-99, 718 S.W.2d 94, 96-97 (1986), insofar as Diffee stands for the proposition that a fine is a disposition apart from the probated prison sentence. The State's argument is misplaced as Diffee holds that a court may both impose a fine and place the defendant on probation or suspend imposition of the sentence as to imprisonment.

[6] We do not consider arguments unsupported by convincing authority, unless it is apparent without further research that they are well taken. McClendon v. State, 316 Ark. 688, 693, 875 S.W.2d 55, 58 (1994).

[7] Based on the above reasons, we decline to overrule Harmon v. State.

Reversed.
