A. Authority Of Judge: The judge may suspend, modify, defer or reduce a sentence in accordance with 11 Oklahoma Statutes sections 27-123 and 27-124. (1988 Code § 6-128)
B. Judge Licensed To Practice Law: A judge who is licensed to practice law in this state in imposing judgment and 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, 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 Oklahoma Statutes section 27-123. 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 the probation have been violated, the municipal judge may enter a judgment of guilty. The judge may continue or delay imposing a judgment and sentence for a period of time not to exceed six (6) months from the date of sentence. At the expiration of such period of time, the judge may allow the city attorney to amend the charge to a lesser offense. If a deferred sentence is imposed, an administrative fee of not less than one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) and not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00) shall be imposed as costs in the case. The cost will be collected by the city of Pryor Creek court clerk with one-half (1/2) being deposited in city of Pryor Creek general fund and balance training for city clerk's office (see appendix A of this code).
