and the person will be deemed to have tendered a plea of guilty and
submitted to a forfeiture and penalty assessment if required by Wis.
Stats. 757.05(1), a jail assessment if required by Wis. Stats. 302.46,
plus any applicable fees prescribed in Wis. Stats. Ch. 814, not to

officer or the person receiving the deposit shall issue the arrested
person a receipt therefore as required by Wis. Stats. § 345.26(3)(b).
