OKLAHOMA CITY — A first-ever check of every inmate in the Oklahoma County jail found that a 20-year-old woman had been locked up for days by mistake.

“This is the most egregious case, in my opinion,” Public Defender Bob Ravitz told the presiding judge in a report on issues found during the March 8 check of more than 1,600 inmates.

Giselle Perez was jailed early Feb. 26 after a traffic stop because there was still an outstanding warrant for her arrest on a 2015 juvenile shoplifting charge even though the case had been dismissed.

“I didn’t know at all why I was locked up,” said Perez, of Oklahoma City. “I never even went to court or nothing.”
