Whenever any person shall be convicted in the municipal court of violating a municipal ordinance, the judge trying the cause, after sentence, may suspend the judgment or costs or both and allow the person so convicted to be released upon his own recognizance. Any person so released shall be required to report at such times and to such person or officer as the judge shall direct. The judge may cause a warrant to be issued for any person so released if it shall be made to appear to the judge that such person:

1. Has been guilty of the violation of any law after his release;

2. Is habitually associating with lewd or vicious persons; or

3. Is indulging in vicious habits.

Upon the issuance of the warrant by the judge, the person shall be delivered forthwith to the place of confinement to which he was originally sentenced and shall serve out the full term for which he was originally sentenced.
