A. Whenever a resident or nonresident of the municipality is arrested for the violation of any ordinance, traffic or nontraffic, by a law enforcement officer, the officer shall immediately release such person if he acknowledges receipt of a citation by signing it, unless it reasonably appears to the officer that the person may cause injury to himself or others or damage to property if released or that the person will not appear in response to the citation. If such person fails to appear in response to the citation a warrant shall be issued for his arrest and his appearance shall be compelled.
B. Whenever a resident or nonresident of the city is arrested by a law enforcement officer for the violation of any ordinance and is not released by being permitted to sign a citation as provided in subsection A of this section, he shall be admitted to bail, either before or after arraignment, or released on his own recognizance.
C. Whenever a resident or nonresident of the city is arrested for a violation, other than a traffic violation, by a law enforcement officer, the defendant shall be eligible to be admitted to bail either before or after arraignment.
D. The city may require a person who is arrested for a municipal traffic violation by a law enforcement officer to comply with the procedures provided by law in section 1114.1 of title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes for state traffic violations with respect to release of the arrested person and the methods of posting bail shall apply as provided in section 6-128 of this chapter.
E. When any bond is required for appearance as provided herein, the person charged of an offense shall be released from custody by posting with the municipal court clerk a cash bond for each offense equal to the maximum fine for each such offense and court costs.
F. The amount and conditions of bail granted under subsections B and C of this section shall be determined by the judge who shall prescribe rules for the receipt of bail and for the release by recognizance. In the event of arrests at night, or other emergency, or when the judge is not available, the chief of police or his designated representative shall be authorized by the judge under 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, but in no event shall the cash bond be more than the maximum fine provided by ordinance for each offense charged. The chief of police or his designated representative is authorized subject to such conditions as shall be prescribed by the judge, to release a resident of the city on his own recognizance.
