(a) When any person is arrested for any violation of the wildlife laws, it is the duty of the arresting officer making or causing the arrest to take the person so arrested before a court of general sessions for trial, in the county where the offense was committed. If before such court of general sessions, the accused is found guilty of any offense punishable by a fine of fifty dollars ($50.00) or less, that person shall have the right to appeal to the circuit or criminal court having jurisdiction of such appeals, upon giving security for the amount of the fine and imposed costs. In the cases of offenses punishable by a fine of more than fifty dollars ($50.00) or by imprisonment, then the magistrate or court of general sessions is governed by the general laws applicable to such offenses.
(b) If the circuit court has concurrent jurisdiction with or as a criminal court in any county, then the circuit court shall likewise have jurisdiction over any offense for violation of any of the provisions of this title.
