Upon entering a judgment of conviction, the court having juris-
diction, may suspend the imposition or execution of sentence and
place the defendant on probation upon such terms and conditions as
the courts deem proper. The court may impose a sentence for a
specified period and provide that a lesser period be served in confine-
ment, suspend the remainder of the sentence and grant probation
for a period longer than the sentence but not in excess of five years.

Probation may be granted whether the offence OFFENSE is pun-
ishable by fine or imprisonment or both. If the offence OFFENSE is
punishable by both fine and imprisonment, the court may impose a
fine and place the defendant on probation as to the imprisonment.
Probation may be limited to one or more counts or indictments, but,
in the absence of express limitation, shall extend to the entire sen-
tence and judgment. The court may revoke or modify any condition
of probation or may reduce the period of probation.
