2. a. A person who commits aggravated theft is guilty of an aggravated misdemeanor.

3. In determining if a violation is a class “D” felony offense the following shall apply:
a. A deferred judgment entered pursuant to section 907.3 for a violation of any offense specified in subsection 2 shall be counted as a previous offense.

A conviction or the equivalent of a deferred judgment for a violation in any other states under statutes substantially corresponding to an offense specified in subsection 2 shall be counted as a previous offense.
