In any case where there is a violation of any
county ordinance for which no penalty is provided, the person violating
the same shall be subject to a forfeiture of not less than $10 nor
more than $200 for each offense, except as provided in the following
subsections:
A. No violation of any ordinance of the county shall
be or be construed to be a misdemeanor, nor shall imprisonment be
imposed as a punishment for violation of any ordinance of the county
except in the event of a failure of the defendant to pay the forfeiture
imposed by the court, any other provision of the general ordinances
of the county to the contrary notwithstanding.
B. When a forfeiture is imposed for the violation of
any ordinance of the county or any section thereof the court may also
order the defendant to pay the cost of the action and to be imprisoned
until such forfeiture and costs are paid, in no case, however, to
exceed six months, and the court may also issue an execution against
the property of the defendant for said forfeiture and costs.
