§ 111.99 PENALTY.
   (A)   It shall be a criminal offense for any person, firm, or corporation to engage in the trafficking in alcoholic beverages as that term is defined in KRS Chapter 243, without first paying to the city the license taxes required by §§ 111.01 through 111.22 and 111.24, and without first obtaining the license required by these sections. A violator shall be punished as follows:
      (1)   For a violation of any of the provisions enacted by reference, penalties shall be the same as provided by KRS Chapter 243.
      (2)   If any person, firm, or corporation shall sell alcoholic liquor or beverages within the city limits without first procuring the necessary licenses, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined not less than $10 nor more than $100 and costs, or in lieu of such fine be imprisoned in the county jail for not more than 6 months. Each sale without a license shall constitute a separate offense. In case of punishment by fine, unless the costs and fine be paid forthwith, the person convicted under these sections shall be committed to the county jail until the fines and costs shall be paid or until the fines and costs have been discharged by due course of law. In case of a second or subsequent conviction during any license year, the punishment shall be both fine and imprisonment.
   (B)   Any person who shall be adjudged guilty of the violation of §§ 111.30 through 111.35, shall be guilty of a violation and shall be fined not less than $10 or more than $200 for each and every offense.
   (C)   Any person, firm, or corporation who violates the provisions of § 111.41 shall, upon conviction, be subjected to the penalties prescribed by KRS Chapter 243 and 244.
   (D)   Any person who, by himself or herself or acting through another, directly or indirectly, violates any of the provisions of § 111.23 for which no other penalty is provided, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, for the first offense, be fined not less than $100 nor more than $200, or be imprisoned in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or both; and for the second and each subsequent violation, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined not less than $200 nor more than $500, or be imprisoned in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or both. Each sale in violation of § 111.23 shall constitute a separate offense. Penalties provided for herein shall be in addition to the revocation or suspension of the offender's license.
   (E)   Any person violating any provision of § 111.40 shall, for the first offense, be fined not less than $100 nor more than $200, or be imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both; and for the second and each subsequent violation, shall be fined not less than $200 nor more than $500, or be imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both.
   (F)   Each day upon which a violation of the requirements of this chapter occurs or exists shall be deemed a separate offense for which a separate fine or penalty may be imposed.
