7. Someone cut me off in traffic, I have their tag number what do I do?

If you have the tag number as well as description of the vehicle in question, and can positively identify the driver, then you may have enough information to file charge via citizen’s complaint. Please request to speak with an officer if the above information is available.

Never take the law into your own hands. The best course of action concerning an aggressive driver is to give them lots of distance and let them pass you. Never chase someone on the highway. It is dangerous, and rather than helping, you are becoming part of the problem. Many people are killed each year as the result of road rage.

8. My vehicle was impounded by the Owasso Police Department, how do I get it back?

As long as there is no “hold” on the vehicle, the process to get it back is simple. Each wrecker service will set their own criteria for release, generally they are as follows:

• You must be the registered owner.
• You must bring the title or registration to the wrecker service.
• You must show proper identification to the wrecker service.
• You must pay the wrecker company for the towing and storage of your vehicle.

To determine which wrecker service is in possession of your vehicle, contact the Owasso Police Records Division at 918-376-1568.

9. How can I get someone out of the Owasso Jail?

There are several ways to get someone out of jail. The person has to be sober, and eligible for bond. A bond is a cash deposit to guarantee that someone will appear on their court date. If they do not show up for court, their bond is forfeited to the court. If they do show up for court, their bond may be returned to the person who posted it. For more information on the bonding process, contact the Owasso Court Clerk at 918-376-1550.

Here are the methods of getting someone out of jail:

• Pay the full amount of their bond. Either in cash, (exact change required) or by credit card. If the prisoner shows up for court, the bond may be returned to the person who posted it. (You must contact the Court Clerk!)
• Contact a bondsman. The bondsman may charge you whatever amount you both agree on. The money given to a bondsman will not be returned to you. The bondsman will sign paperwork to have the prisoner released.
• Contact an attorney. The attorney can sign for the prisoner and the prisoner will be released. Again, the fee the attorney charges you will not be returned by the court, and is negotiated between you and the attorney.
• Wait 10 days. Owasso is a 10-day holding facility. We must release a prisoner after 10 days of incarceration.

10. I locked my keys in my car, can the police open it?

No. The Police Department no longer offers this service. It will be necessary for you to contact a locksmith for assistance.

11. Someone owes me money can I have the police make them pay me back?

No. The police cannot force someone to honor a civil agreement. You need to take that person to small claims court; however, we would be glad to have an officer speak to you to ensure that you have not been the victim of fraud or some other crime.
