You could, but a procedure returns automatically without one:
if balance < 0 then Overdrawn() -- after the Overdrawn procedure,
execution resumes here --> maybe some other stuff
end if

It is possible to use a return in a procedure to return early,
based on some value:

procedure Overdrawn(atom amount)
if amount < 10.00 then
   puts(1,'Your account is slightly overdrawn!')
   return
   puts(1,'You are a lot overdrawn!!')
end if
end procedure

but it's not usually a good idea, since the same thing will
make more sense as:
procedure Overdrawn(atom amount)
 if amount < 10.00 then puts(1,'Your account.....')
 elsif amount < 100.00 then put(1,'Way over...')
 else puts(1,'The sheriff is on his way...')
end if
end procedure
