Tulsa Cnty. Dist. Ct. Local R. (Criminal/Traffic) RULE CR 1

A. Orders of Release - Criminal Bond Index

A Preset Bond Schedule has been prepared and will be periodically reviewed

under the direction of the Presiding Judge. This listing of bonds shall be for the purpose

of expediting releases from the Tulsa County Jail and as a guide for judges to follow in

order to provide consistency in bond settings. It shall not, however, affect the discretion

of a Judge initially to set a higher or lower bond without a hearing or to raise or lower

the bond initially set in a case, provided a proper hearing is held with all parties present.

The bond amount for Fugitive From Justice charges shall be taken from the bond

reflected on the fugitive warrant. If no bond is shown on the fugitive warrant, the bond

shall be set according to the Tulsa County Preset Bond Schedule.

B. Initial Arraignment Court Dates

When a defendant is booked into the Tulsa County Jail/David L. Moss Criminal

Justice Center, a probable cause determination will be made as soon as is reasonably

feasible, but in no event later than 48 hours after arrest. The initial appearance before a

Magistrate for arraignment shall be as soon as is reasonably feasible, but in no event

later than six (6) days from the date of booking.

Dates for return after the initial arraignment is held shall be determined by the

Arraignment Judges.

In determining the initial arraignment court dates, the first (or current) day shall

be excluded and the last day shall be included. Days on which the Courthouse will be

closed for business should be counted when figuring the time. If the court date falls on a

day the Courthouse is scheduled to be closed, the date should be set for the next day

the Courthouse is scheduled to be open.

Defendants booked into custody on any charge shall be scheduled for the next

available arraignment before a Magistrate for bond setting. If the defendant's arrest

occurs after regular hours and just before a weekend or a day on which the Courthouse

will be closed, the defendant's bond setting shall be referred to the Magistrate who has

been assigned to the Judicial Reviews of Affidavits of Arrest on those days. The

Magistrate shall set bail for the defendant and shall set the initial arraignment six (6)

days away.

Qualifying defendants may be released on their own recognizance through the

Tulsa County Pretrial Release Program subject to the Court's approval.
