6-135: ENFORCEMENT OF PAYMENT OF FINES OR COSTS BY IMPRISONMENT, PERSONS UNABLE TO PAY:

   A.   If a defendant who is financially able refuses or neglects to pay a fine or costs or both, payment may be enforced by imprisonment until the same shall be satisfied at the rate of five dollars ($5.00) per day. If the defendant is without means to pay the fine or costs, the municipal judge may direct the total amount due to be entered upon the court minutes and to be certified to the district court of Oklahoma County where it shall be entered upon the district court docket and shall have the full force and effect of a district court judgment. Thereupon the same remedies shall be available for the enforcement of the judgment as are available to any other judgment creditor.

   B.   All prisoners confined to jail on conviction or on plea of guilty may be compelled, if their health permits, to work on the public streets, avenues, alleys, parks, buildings or other public premises or property. For each day of such work, the prisoner shall be credited five dollars ($5.00) toward any fine or costs or witness or juror fees or mileage until same are satisfied.

   C.   The chief of police, subject to the direction of the city manager, shall direct where the work shall be performed. The head of the department in charge of the place where the work is to be performed himself or by some person designated by him, shall oversee the work. If a guard is necessary, the chief of police shall make provision therefor. (Prior Code, Sec. 12-37)

6-136: DEFERRED SENTENCE, SUSPENSION OF JUDGMENT OR COST, RECONFINEMENT, ADMINISTRATIVE FEE:

   A.   The judge of the municipal court imposing a judgment or sentence, at his discretion, is empowered to modify, reduce or suspend or defer the imposition of such sentence or any part thereof and to authorize probation for a period not to exceed six (6) months from the date of sentence, upon such terms or conditions as the court may specify. Procedures relating to suspension of the judgment or cost, or both, shall be as provided in section 27-123 of title 11 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Upon completion of the probation term, the defendant shall be discharged without a court judgment of guilt, and the verdict, judgment of guilty or plea of guilty, shall be expunged from the record, and the charge dismissed with prejudice to any further action. Upon a finding of the court that the conditions of probation have been violated the Municipal Judge may enter a judgment of guilty.

   B.   The Judge of the Municipal Court may continue or delay imposing a judgment or sentence for a period not to exceed six (6) months from the date of sentence. At the expiration of such period of time the Judge may allow the charge to be amended to a lesser offense.

   C.   If a deferred sentence is imposed as provided in subsections A and B of this section an administrative fee, in an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00), may be imposed as additional court costs in the case. (Prior Code § 12-31; amd. Ord. 1987-9, 11-5-1987)
