Okla. Stat. tit. 11, § 11-28-114

A. Except as otherwise provided in this section, if a resident

of a municipality served by a municipal court is arrested by a law

enforcement officer for the violation of any ordinance for which

Section 28-114.1 of this title does not apply, or is arrested for

violation of a nontraffic ordinance, the officer shall immediately

release said person if the person acknowledges receipt of a citation

by signing it. Provided, however, the arresting officer need not

release said person if it reasonably appears to the officer that the

person may cause injury to self or others or damage to property if

released, that the person will not appear in response to the

citation, or the person is arrested for an offense against a person

or property. If said person fails to appear in response to the

citation, a warrant shall be issued for the person’s arrest and the

person’s appearance shall be compelled.

If the arrested resident is not released by being permitted to

sign a citation as provided for in this subsection, the resident

shall be admitted to bail either before or after arraignment, or

shall be released on personal recognizance. A municipality may

prescribe a fine for up to the maximum amount authorized by courts

not of record for failure of a person to have a valid driver license

when charged with a traffic violation.

B. If a nonresident of a municipality served by a municipal

court is arrested by a law enforcement officer for a violation of

any ordinance for which Section 28-114.1 of this title does not

apply, the defendant shall be eligible to be admitted to bail either

before or after arraignment.

C. The amount and conditions of bail granted pursuant to the

provisions of subsections A and B of this section shall be

determined by the judge, within the limitation prescribed by this

section, who shall prescribe rules for the receipt of bail and for

the release on personal recognizance. In the event of arrests at

night, emergencies, or when the judge is not available, a court

official, the chief of police or the chief’s designated

representative may be authorized by the judge, subject to such

conditions as shall be prescribed by the judge, to accept a

temporary cash bond in a sufficient amount to secure the appearance

of the accused. Except as provided in this subsection, cash bond

shall not exceed the maximum fine provided for by ordinance for each

offense charged. The court official, chief of police or the chief’s

designated representative is authorized, subject to such conditions

as shall be prescribed by the judge or by law, to release a resident

of the municipality on personal recognizance. Provided, however,

that a person arrested in a municipality for violations of municipal

ordinances relating to prostitution, including but not limited to

engaging in prostitution or soliciting or procuring prostitution,

shall not be released on personal recognizance.
