12-4511.   Parole.
The municipal judge may parole any person confined to jail as a result of a
conviction of a violation of a city ordinance. The judge may set such
conditions and restrictions as the judge sees fit to impose for a term of
parole not exceeding two years and may at any time discharge such person for
good cause shown. The term of parole ordered by the court is subject to renewal
and extension for additional periods not exceeding an additional two years for
any misdemeanor case upon the municipal court's finding that the defendant has
not yet successfully completed the conditions imposed therein within the
original term of such parole.

     
After notice and hearing, the municipal judge may revoke such parole for
violation of conditions by directing the chief of police to execute the
sentence and again confine the accused person to jail for the time specified by
the court, which shall not exceed the initial jail sentence imposed, less the
time served.
