You can search Haskell County criminal cases online through OSCN or request copies at the clerk's office. The county sits in eastern Oklahoma with a population of about 11,561 as of the 2020 census.

Criminal History Laws in Haskell County

The Oklahoma Open Records Act, Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.1, gives you the right to access criminal history records held by courts and law enforcement in Haskell County. Under Section 24A.5, copy costs cannot go past 25 cents per page for standard documents. Certified copies are capped at one dollar per page. Public bodies in Haskell County cannot ask why you want the records unless a separate law says they must.

Law enforcement records like police blotters, jail logs, and 911 tapes are generally covered by the Open Records Act. Records tied to active investigations may be held back. All court records fall under the Act per Section 24A.30 unless another statute makes them confidential. You can make your request in writing or just ask in person, though a written request gives you a better paper trail if there is a dispute.

Oklahoma also allows expungement of some criminal history records. Under Title 22 O.S. Section 18, a full expungement seals both court records and the OSBI arrest record. Section 991c covers deferred sentences where the plea gets erased after probation ends, but the OSBI arrest record stays on file. Violent felony convictions cannot be expunged under Title 57 O.S. Section 571. Filing fees for expungement in Haskell County run between $100 and $300. The OSBI also charges a $150 processing fee on top of that.
