(A) Authority; procedure. The Judge of the Municipal Court imposing a judgment and sentence, at his or her discretion, is empowered to suspend or defer the imposition of such sentence or any part thereof and to authorize probation for a period not to exceed six months from the date of sentence, under such terms or conditions as the Judge may specify. Procedures relating to suspension of the judgment or costs or both shall be as provided in 11 O.S. § 27-123. Upon completion of the probation term, the defendant shall be discharged. Upon a finding of the Court that the conditions of probation have been violated, the Municipal Judge may enter a judgment of guilty.
(B) Term of suspension. The Judge of the Municipal Court may continue or delay imposing a judgment and sentence for a period of time not to exceed six months from the date of sentence, provided said Judge is licensed to practice law in the state. At the expiration of such period of time the Judge may allow the Town Attorney to amend the charge to a lesser offense.
