§ 9.01.005 PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION OF CHAPTER.
   A.   Any person who violates or fails to comply with any provision of this Chapter shall be guilty of an infraction, which shall be punishable by a fine, only, as set forth in § 1.01.045 of this Code, except where otherwise expressly provided in this Chapter that a violation may be charged as a misdemeanor.
   B.   Any violation which would otherwise be an infraction is a misdemeanor if a defendant has been convicted of three or more violations of this Chapter within the 12-month period immediately preceding the violation and such prior convictions are admitted by the defendant or alleged in the accusatory pleading. For this purpose, a bail forfeiture shall be deemed to be a conviction of the offense charged.
