4. Any podiatric physician to violate any provision of the Podiatric Medicine Practice Act or the rules of the Board.
B. Any person who does any one or more of the things made unlawful by subsection A of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punishable by a fine of not more than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than six (6) months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
