Under Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes, warrants need the court name, a description of the person, the legal basis, and the judge's signature.

If you think you have a warrant in McIntosh County, the Sheriff's Office can check. Self-surrender is one option. Judges tend to view that favorably when setting bail. A defense attorney can help arrange the process.
