20-222. FIXED PERIOD OF PROBATION OR SUSPENSION OF SENTENCE -- REAR-
REST AND REVOCATION. (1) The period of probation or suspension of sentence
shall be fixed by the court and may at any time be extended or terminated by
the court. Such period with any extension thereof shall not exceed the maxi-
mum period for which the defendant might have been imprisoned.
(2) At any time during probation or suspension of sentence, the court
may issue a warrant for violating any of the conditions of probation or sus-
pension of sentence and cause the defendant to be arrested. Thereupon the
court, after summary hearing may revoke the probation and suspension of sen-
tence and cause the sentence imposed to be executed, or may cause the defen-
dant to be brought before it and may continue or revoke the probation, or may
impose any sentence which originally might have been imposed at the time of
conviction. In making a determination to continue or revoke probation and
suspension of sentence, the court shall consider the defendant's risks and
needs and options for treatment in the community.
