Owasso Inmate Booking Process
When Owasso police arrest someone, the person gets transported to the David L. Moss facility. The drive from Owasso to downtown Tulsa takes around 20 to 30 minutes. Booking starts with fingerprints and a photograph. Staff enter the charges and personal details into the system. Bond gets set based on the offense. Minor charges often have preset bond amounts. Serious offenses require a judge to set bond.
Owasso inmates typically appear in the online search within a few hours of booking. The process takes time. If you are looking for someone just arrested in Owasso, check back in a couple of hours if they do not show up right away. The jail runs intake around the clock, so there is no fixed time when new records get posted.
