Sec. 50-252. Alternatives in sentencing.
Within the limitations of the penalties provided for the offense of which a person is found guilty or pleads guilty or no contest and subject to the provisions of this division, the trial court has the following alternatives, which are not mutually exclusive, in entering judgment and imposing sentence:
(1) The defendant may be sentenced to pay a fine, to imprisonment, or both, within the minimum and maximum sentence authorized.
(2) Place defendant on supervised or unsupervised probation. Probation may be in lieu of or in addition to any fine or jail sentence which may be imposed by court. The probationary period may be up to one year or such other time as the defendant and prosecutor may agree.
(3) All or part of the sentence may be suspended upon such terms and conditions as may be ordered by the court.
(4) The court, with the consent of the defendant and the prosecution, may defer judgment and sentence.
(5) The defendant may be sentenced to payment of costs. Upon the entry of any deferred prosecution, deferred judgment and sentence, or where the defendant is placed on probation, the court may assess fees established pursuant to section 50-38 of the Code.
