A. Procedure: Upon arrest, or upon appearance without arrest in response to citation or summons, or at any time before trial, before or after arraignment, the defendant shall be eligible to be released upon giving bail for his appearance in an amount and upon conditions fixed by this chapter or the judge, who shall prescribe appropriate rules of court for the receipt of bail. In case of arrests made at night or under other conditions of emergency or when the judge is not available, the rules shall authorize the chief of police, or his designated representative, to accept a temporary cash bond of not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) nor more than the maximum monetary penalty provided by ordinance for the offense charged. (1985 Code § 6-124; amd. 2007 Code)
B. Arrest For Traffic Violation Other Than Parking Or Standing; Bail: If a resident or nonresident of the municipality is arrested by a law enforcement officer solely for a misdemeanor violation of a traffic ordinance, other than an ordinance pertaining to a parking or standing traffic violation, and the arrested person is eligible to sign a written promise to appear and be released upon personal recognizance as provided for in 22 Oklahoma Statutes section 1115.1, then the procedures provided for in the state and municipal traffic bail bond procedure act as applied to municipalities, shall govern. The municipal judge shall prescribe a bail bond schedule for traffic offenses. The amount of bail shall not exceed the maximum fine and costs provided by ordinance for each offense, unless the defendant has a previous history of failing to appear according to the terms or conditions of a bond, in which case the amount of bail shall not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). (1985 Code § 6-125; amd. 2007 Code)
