All sentences of imprisonment shall be executed by the chief\n\nof police of the municipality, and any person convicted of a\n\nviolation of any ordinance of the municipality and sentenced to\n\nimprisonment shall be confined in the jail, farm, or workhouse of\n\nthe municipality, in the discretion of the court, for the time\n\nspecified in the sentence; provided, however, the court may, in lieu\n\nof imprisonment, order the defendant to engage in a term of\n\ncommunity service without compensation. If the defendant fails to\n\nperform the required community service or if the conditions of\n\ncommunity service are violated, the judge may impose a sentence of\n\nimprisonment, not to exceed the maximum sentence allowable for the\n\nviolation for which the defendant was convicted.\n\nB. The judge of the municipal court imposing a judgment and\n\nsentence, at the judge’s discretion, is empowered to modify, reduce,\n\nsuspend, or defer the imposition of a sentence or any part thereof\n\nand to authorize probation for a period not to exceed six (6) months\n\nfrom the date of sentence under terms or conditions as the judge may\n\nspecify. Procedures relating to suspension of the judgment or costs\n\nor both shall be as provided in Section 27-123 of Title 11 of the\n\nOklahoma Statutes. Upon completion of the terms of probation, the\n\ndefendant shall be discharged without a court judgment of guilt, and\n\nthe verdict, judgment of guilty, or plea of guilty shall be expunged\n\nfrom the record and the charge dismissed with prejudice to any\n\nfurther action. Upon a finding of the court that the conditions of\n\nprobation have been violated, the municipal judge may enter a\n\njudgment of guilty.\n\nC. The judge of the municipal court may continue or delay\n\nimposing a judgment and sentence for a period of time not to exceed\n\nsix (6) months from the date of sentence. At the expiration of this\n\nperiod of time the judge may allow the municipal attorney to amend\n\nthe charge to a lesser offense.\n\nD. If a deferred sentence is imposed, an administrative fee not\n\nto exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) may be imposed as costs in\n\nthe case, in addition to any deferral fee otherwise authorized by\n\nlaw.","path":["OK Code","Title 11"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os11.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"f5b17f3fe00ff3b6055bcbbcd6d679503d4684111694268c3a92baef4eb3469c","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-11-11-27-122","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-11-11-27-122.2"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
