Section 21-17A-28 - Satisfaction of judgment for plaintiff-Delivery of remaining property If a plaintiff recovers judgment in the action, the sheriff or constable shall satisfy the same out of the property attached, if sufficient therefor:
(1) By paying all money attached or received on sales of property, or on any debts or credits, or so much thereof as shall be necessary to the plaintiff;(2) By selling, under such execution as may be issued on such judgment, so much of the attached property, real or personal, as is necessary to satisfy the unpaid balance, according to the provisions regulating sales upon execution, except as provided in subdivision (4) of this section;(3) If any of the attached property belonging to the defendant is not in the sheriff's or constable's hands, without having been sold or converted into money, by repossessing the same, and for that purpose, the sheriff or constable has the same authority which he had to seize the same under the writ of attachment. Any person who intentionally conceals or withholds such property from the sheriff or constable is liable to double damages at the suit of the party injured;(4) Until the judgment against the defendant has been paid, the sheriff or constable shall collect the evidences of debt that may have been seized or attached by virtue of the writ of attachment, and prosecute any bond he may have taken in the course of such proceedings, and apply the proceeds thereof to the payment of the judgment and costs. When the judgment and all costs of the proceedings have been paid, the sheriff or constable, upon reasonable demand, shall deliver the residue of the property attached, or the proceeds thereof, to the defendant.
