§ 31-37. Suspension of sentence; probation.

(a)

Whenever any person shall be convicted in the municipal court of violating a city ordinance, the judge trying said cause, after sentence, may suspend said judgment or cost, or both, and allow said person so convicted to be released upon his own recognizance. Any person so released shall be required to report at such times and to such person or officer as the judge shall direct. The judge may cause a warrant to be issued for any person so released if it shall be made to appear to the judge that such person:

(1)

Has been guilty of the violation of any law after his release;

(2)

Is habitually associating with lewd or vicious persons; or

(3)

Is indulging in vicious habits.

(b)

Upon the issuance of the warrant by the judge, the person shall be delivered forthwith to the place of confinement to which he was originally sentenced and shall serve out the full term for which he was originally sentenced.

(c)

The court, upon granting probation, may fix a fee not to exceed $500.00 to be paid by the probationer during the probation period. The court may make payment of the fee a condition of granting or continuing the probation, and such condition may be imposed whether the probation is incident to the suspending of execution of a sentence or incident to the suspending of imposition of a sentence or the deferring of proceedings after a verdict or plea of guilty. Such fee shall be paid to the court clerk and credited to the general fund of the city.
