§ 21-11. Special provisions as governing - Acts punishable in

different ways.

If there be in any other provision of the laws of this state a

provision making any specific act or omission criminal and providing

the punishment therefor, and there be in this title any provision or

section making the same act or omission a criminal offense or

prescribing the punishment therefor, that offense and the punishment

thereof, shall be governed by the special provisions made in

relation thereto, and not by the provisions of this title. But an

act or omission which is made punishable in different ways by

different provisions of this title may be punished under any of such

provisions, except that in cases specified in Sections 51.1 and 54

of this title, the punishments therein prescribed are substituted

for those prescribed for a first offense, but in no case can a

criminal act or omission be punished under more than one section of

law; and an acquittal or conviction and sentence under one section

of law, bars the prosecution for the same act or omission under any

other section of law.
