72 Hour Booking Law in Delaware County

Oklahoma law says that booking records must be made public within 72 hours of an arrest. This rule comes from 51 O.S. 24A.5, which is part of the Oklahoma Open Records Act. The law makes sure that the public knows who was arrested, what they were charged with, and where they are being held. It applies to every county in the state, including Delaware County.

Under 51 O.S. 24A.8, law enforcement can only hold back certain types of records. Juvenile records are off limits. So are sealed or expunged cases. But the basic booking data, the person's name, charges, and bond, must be released. The 72 hour window gives agencies like the Delaware County Sheriff enough time to process the arrest and enter it into their system before it goes public. If a record is not posted on time, you can file an Open Records request with the Sheriff's Office to get it.

Delaware County Booking Record Details

A 72 hour booking record from Delaware County includes several pieces of information. The record shows the person's full name, date of birth, gender, and physical description. It lists the charges that led to the arrest. It also shows the booking date and time, the arresting agency, and the bond amount if one has been set. Some records include a mugshot photo as well.

Bond types in Delaware County vary. You might see cash bonds, surety bonds, or personal recognizance bonds on a booking record. The type of bond and the amount depend on the charges and the judge who sets it. More serious charges like felonies carry higher bond amounts. Misdemeanors tend to have lower bonds or sometimes no bond at all if the person is released on their own recognizance.
