Which person is described as eligible to obtain a release of a person on bail under the provisions?

• A. A 25-year-old non-citizen with a visa
• B. A 21-year-old U.S. citizen residing in Oklahoma for 6 months with cash or property
• C. A minor with parental consent
• D. A resident of another state with bonds

Answer: (B)

The key idea is who is eligible to be released on bail under these provisions depends on citizenship and Oklahoma residency, plus the ability to post security. A U.S. citizen who has lived in Oklahoma for six months and can post cash or property meets both the citizenship and residency requirements and has the means to secure release, so this person is eligible. A non-citizen with a visa isn’t eligible under these rules because citizenship is required; a minor would be handled under juvenile proceedings rather than bail in this context; and a person living in another state isn’t an Oklahoma resident, so they don’t meet the residency criterion.
