Any person convicted of a violation of any section or provision of this code deemed a misdemeanor may be fined in a sum not to exceed three hundred dollars ($300.00) for any offense and may be confined in jail for a period of not more than six (6) months. Either or both such fine and imprisonment may be imposed; and in addition thereto, any person so convicted shall pay such costs as the court may assess.

1-4-2 APPLICABILITY OF PROVISIONS:
The penalty set forth in section 1-4-1 of this chapter shall be applicable to every section or provision of this code, the same as though it were a part of each and every separate section or provision. Any person convicted of a violation shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. A separate offense shall be deemed committed for each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues. Any person convicted of a violation of any section of this code where a duty is prescribed or obligation imposed, or where any action which is of a continuing nature is forbidden or is declared to be unlawful, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
In all cases where an offense has a particular prescribed punishment by a different clause or section of this code, that code section shall apply.
Whenever the doing of any act or the omission to do any act constitutes a breach of any section or provision of this code and there shall be no fine or penalty specifically declared for such breach, the provisions of this chapter shall apply. (1988 Code)
