of sentence and place the defendant on probation upon such
terms and conditions as the court deems proper. The court
may impose a sentence for a specified period and provide
that a lesser period be served in confinement, suspend the
remainder of the sentence and grant probation for a period
longer than the sentence but not in excess of five years,
however, if the defendant consents in writing, the court may
grant probation in excess of 5 years, but only for purposes
of making restitution.

punishable by fine or imprisonment or both. If the 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 sentence and
judgment. The court may revoke or modify any condition of
probation or may reduce the period of probation.
