(A) Any person found guilty of violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned for a period of not more than 90 days, or by both the fine and imprisonment, and each day this chapter is violated shall constitute a separate offense; provided, however, that if a specific penalty is provided therefor in any particular and individual section of this chapter, then the specific penalty shall prevail.
(1) The imposition of a penalty under the provisions of this chapter or any ordinance of the city shall not prevent the revocation or suspension of any license, franchise, or permit issued or granted under the provisions of this chapter or any ordinance of the city.
(2) In the event any violation of this chapter or any ordinance of the city is designated as a nuisance under the provisions thereof, the nuisance may be summarily abated by the city in addition to the imposition of a fine or imprisonment.
(3) The conviction of any person for the violation of any provision of this chapter or any ordinance of the city, and the payment of a fine or the serving of any term of imprisonment as punishment therefor, shall not relieve the person from any other duty, responsibility, liability, or obligation imposed by law arising from the act or omission constituting the violation. The court may exercise discretion to suspend a sentence in whole or in part and place the convicted person on probation for a term that the judge may find just and proper not to exceed one year, conditioned upon the satisfaction of lawful conditions imposed by the court.
(B) Every person convicted of a violation of any provisions of § 90.105 (rabies vaccination required) shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days or by both the fine and imprisonment. Every day such violation is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense, and shall be punishable as such hereunder.
