Q. Can a judge put a NO CONTACT order on the accused for first offense without notifying the victim?

May 9, 2023

A: Separate from a protective order, a judge can order a defendant in a criminal case not to have contact with the alleged victim as a condition of the defendant's bond. I cannot tell if that was done here, and it is usually not something that gets ordered without the defendant being informed. That said, it sounds like he needs a criminal defense attorney to represent him ASAP. You likely will want to contact an attorney for him or he may have one appointed to represent him, if he is unable to afford one.

Q. Hello my name is Lexie Im from Arkansas I live in Oklahoma my license is suspended in Arkansas for failure to appear

April 26, 2023

A: I recommend you contact an attorney located in the county/municipality in Arkansas where you failed to appear. The attorney should be able to assist you.

Your other option is to contact the court clerk to pay your fine and fees in Arkansas. If you have an Arkansas license, you will then need to contact Arkansas DPS to find out how to reinstate your license (likely a fee you have to pay after they verify that your fines/fees are paid). Once that has been done, you should be able to drive and obtain an Oklahoma license (if that is your plan).

Q. They're talking about re-arresting me when the lab results come back on the same charges I already bonded out on, legal?

April 7, 2023

A: Each county handles these matters a little differently, but the best thing you can do is monitor OSCN/ODCR to see if a case ends up being filed and stay in touch with your bondsman. If charges do get filed, your bondsman can likely repost the bond and set you up with a new arraignment date (and avoid the warrant going active).

Additionally, I strongly discourage you from posting online or talking to anyone about what occurred or what was seized from you, except your attorney. If you do not have an attorney yet and are wanting to wait to see if you are charged, then don't talk to anyone about the facts alleged against you by the State or police.
