If a defendant sentenced to be imprisoned or jailed has part or all of the imprisonment or jail time suspended upon conditions that include that he pay a fine, costs, or restitution and fails to comply with any of these conditions, the court may, upon its own motion or upon motion of the state's attorney, require the defendant to show cause why he should not be imprisoned or jailed for failure to comply with the conditions of the sentence. The court may issue a warrant of arrest, bench warrant, or order to show cause for the convicted defendant's appearance.
