A sentence to pay a fine or a fine and costs, if an appeal is taken, may be stayed by a trial court or by the Supreme Court upon such terms as the court deems proper. A court may require a defendant pending appeal to deposit the whole or any part of his fine and costs with the clerk of the trial court, to give bond for the payment thereof, or to submit to an examination of assets, and it may make any appropriate order to restrain the defendant from dissipating his assets.
