2006 New York Code - Execution Of Warrant.

 
    §  792. Execution of warrant. The sheriff to whom a warrant is issued,
  must collect each fine out of the personal property of the person fined,
  as prescribed by law or the rules of civil practice for the  collection,
  by  levy  upon and sale of personal property, of an execution issued out
  of a court of record; and he is entitled  to  like  fees  thereupon.  If
  sufficient personal property of a delinquent can not be found to pay the
  fine  and  the  fees, the sheriff must arrest the delinquent, and detain
  him in custody until he pays the same, as upon an execution against  the
  person,  issued  in  an  action,  out  of  the  supreme court; and he is
  entitled to like fees thereupon.
