Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 11

A. All sentences of imprisonment shall be executed by the chief

of police of the municipality, and any person convicted of a

violation of any ordinance of the municipality and sentenced to

imprisonment shall be confined in the jail, farm, or workhouse of

the municipality, in the discretion of the court, for the time

specified in the sentence; provided, however, the court may, in lieu

of imprisonment, order the defendant to engage in a term of

community service without compensation. If the defendant fails to

perform the required community service or if the conditions of

community service are violated, the judge may impose a sentence of

imprisonment, not to exceed the maximum sentence allowable for the

violation for which the defendant was convicted.

B. The judge of the municipal court imposing a judgment and

sentence, at the judge’s discretion, is empowered to modify, reduce,

suspend, or defer the imposition of a sentence or any part thereof

and to authorize probation for a period not to exceed six (6) months

from the date of sentence under terms or conditions as the judge may

specify. Procedures relating to suspension of the judgment or costs

or both shall be as provided in Section 27-123 of Title 11 of the

Oklahoma Statutes. Upon completion of the terms of probation, 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.

C. The judge of the municipal court 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 this

period of time the judge may allow the municipal attorney to amend

the charge to a lesser offense.

D. If a deferred sentence is imposed, an administrative fee not

to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) may be imposed as costs in

the case, in addition to any deferral fee otherwise authorized by

law.
