OKLAHOMA CITY —An Oklahoma City
police officer accused of sexually assaulting women while he was on patrol has
been released from jail again.
The bond was reduced for an
Oklahoma City police officer accused of sexually assaulting eight women while
on duty. His new bond is $500,000, down from an original bond of $5 million.
Oklahoma City police officer
Daniel Holtzclaw who has been charged with two counts of first-degree rape,
three counts of forcible oral sex, two counts sexual battery and one count of
indecent exposure was arraigned Wednesday.
Daniel Holtzclaw was released
Thursday morning after a 14-day stay at the Oklahoma County Jail. Holtzclaw was
reprimanded to 14 days in jail after attorneys said he broke the conditions of
his house arrest.
Holtzclaw is accused of
sexually assault several women while on patrol in the Spring Lake Division of
the Oklahoma City Police Department.
Holtzclaw had been on house
arrest with family in Enid until the hearing. Under conditions of his house
arrest, he was supposed to alert Oklahoma County Court Services each time he
left home. He was only permitted to travel for court, attorney visits, visits
to court services and medical appointments.
Robin Wright, a court services
supervisor, testified Thursday that Holtzclaw violated those conditions on
Sept. 17. She said he did not make a call to her office before a doctor’s
appointment and instead alerted his attorneys because he claimed he thought
that was all he needed to do.
Prosecutor Gayland Geiger said
a preliminary hearing is scheduled for mid-November.
