Oklahoma first · blotter, then the fence

FACTS FIRST

OKC crime desk. Numbers, not vibes.

Updated as of Oct 28, 2026 (CT)


Crime special · desk lead Coverage gap: convicted of murdering Shyanne Crawford — metro news never returned. Hill pleaded guilty April 9, 2026 in the Shyanne Crawford killing; day-one TV only; desk found no charge/plea/sentence story. Also: Local murders · OKC & Norman juvenile arrests / school guns. Posted Sep 24, 2026 · Updated Sep 26, 2026
Live-file lag. As of Wed Oct 28 morning, live OCDC blotter PDF covers Oct 27 00:00 – Oct 28 00:00 (80-page JailTracker file; county status ~Oct 28 06:21 CT) — a one-day window ending at the start of today (calendar Oct 28). Counts below match that published window; today’s bookings are not in it yet. Updated Oct 28, 2026

79 bookings · 38 OKCPD arresting agency.

Oklahoma County Detention Center daily jail blotter for Oct 27, 2026 (one-day window 00:00 Oct 27 – 00:00 Oct 28; 80-page JailTracker PDF, status updated ~Oct 28 06:21 CT) shows 79 distinct bookings. Arresting agency read: OKCPD 38 · Oklahoma County 16 · Oklahoma County Detention Center 6 · Del City 4 · OHP–OKC 4 · other agencies the rest. This is a county jail booking log — not a city-only OKCPD daily arrest summary like Norman’s PDFs.

Counting rule. One row per booking number on the Oct 27 OCDC blotter window. Agency = “Arresting Agency” on the form. Primary charge bucket = first listed offense after PDF text extract (approximate — wrapped lines scramble some rows). Homeless: this JailTracker blotter has no Norman-style HOMELESS address token, so we do not invent a homeless line. For housing-status research see CJAC / Open Justice Oklahoma reports and the CJAC dashboard (separate from this desk’s blotter count). Ordinary DUI/APC stay unnamed aggregates only.

Repeat bookings

In the Sep. 10 – Oct. 27, 2026 blotter window, 69 people show up on 2 or more distinct OCDC jail bookings — names withheld.

Buckets sum to 77 (of 79 bookings). Method: first charge line per booking → desk label. PDF text extraction is messy; treat as approximate. Live source (do not host copies): okcountydc.net blotter PDF · status API pdf.php?status=1. OKC PD does not publish a Norman-style public daily arrest PDF; records requests go through OKC Police Records.

Homicide arrests

On the blotter, names withheld

Blotter window above stays anonymized aggregates. Named items in this list require OSCN plus a matching OCDC jail/blotter line; otherwise name withheld. Charges are allegations on the filing — not convictions.

Fence · source gap Date unknown No clean OKCPD daily arrest PDF parallel to Norman. Best public feed today: OCDC daily jail blotter (county-wide, lagged, multi-agency). Inmate search: OCDC inmate search. Court records: OSCN. Desk notes live in the OKC README.
