Blaine County Booking Record Contents Under Oklahoma Law
The Oklahoma Open Records Act specifies what a jail register must contain. Under Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.8, the register must include each prisoner's name, the date and cause of commitment, the authority that committed them, a notation of whether the commitment is for a criminal offense, a physical description, and the date and manner of discharge. These records are public. You have the right to access them.
A Blaine County booking record drawn from this register shows the full name of the person booked, the arresting agency, the charges listed at the time of booking, the date and time of booking, bond information once it is established, and any holds or detainers. Keep in mind that booking charges reflect what the arresting officer believed at the time of arrest. The district attorney reviews the case and may file different charges. For the most current charge information after a few days, check the Oklahoma State Courts Network at OSCN.net and search Blaine County cases by name.
To get copies of past booking records, submit a written Open Records request to the Blaine County Sheriff's Office. Include the subject's name and arrest date if you have it. The agency has five days to respond under state law and can charge a reasonable copying fee.
