Execution of sentences of municipal court
Official statutory text
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

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.
