Judge W. Edward Tomko III

Community service cannot be used to pay restitution.

A defendant unable to pay fines and costs for an offense may enter a deferred, modified deferred, or installment payment agreement.

An installment payment agreement requires monthly or other periodic payments until fines and costs are paid in full.
