(a) Any person arrested pursuant to W.S. 7-20-102 shall be
brought before the court having jurisdiction in the cause
without unnecessary delay. At the initial appearance under this
section the court shall:
(i) Set a time for a hearing on the alleged violation
of the order of protection within seventy-two (72) hours after
the person is initially brought before the court under this
subsection;
(ii) Set a reasonable bond pending the hearing;
(iii) If the arrest is pursuant to W.S. 7-20-102(b),
notify the party who procured the order of protection and direct
that party to appear at the hearing and give evidence on the
alleged violation; and
(iv) If the defendant is found guilty of an offense
referred to in W.S. 7-20-102(a) and 35-21-106(c) and if
probation is otherwise available for the offense, the court,
without entering a judgment of guilt and with the concurrence of
the prosecutor and consent of the defendant, may defer further
proceedings and place the defendant on probation as provided in
this paragraph. The terms and conditions of probation shall
include those necessary to provide for the protection of the
alleged victim and other specifically designated persons and
additional conditions and requirements which the court deems
appropriate, including any counseling or diversionary programs
available to the defendant. On violation of a term or condition
of probation, the court may enter an adjudication of guilt and
proceed as otherwise provided for revocation of probation. On
fulfillment of the terms and conditions of probation, the court
shall discharge the defendant and dismiss the proceedings
against the defendant. This subsection does not apply in any
case in which the defendant has previously been found guilty of
an offense referred to in W.S. 7-20-102(a) and 35-21-106(c), or
in which charges under this section have previously been
dismissed in accordance with this subsection.
