Oklahoma City police officer Holtzclaw is given bail increase, 14 days in jail for violating conditions of release

An Oklahoma City police officer accused of sexually assaulting numerous women wept in court Thursday after a judge increased his bail and ordered him to return to jail.

Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw will spend at least the next two weeks in jail as punishment for violating a condition of his bond release program.

Holtzclaw, 27, faces 26 felony counts in Oklahoma County District Court, including rape, sexual battery, forcible oral sodomy, burglary, stalking, indecent exposure and procuring lewd exhibition. He is accused of assaulting women in northeast Oklahoma City in the late-night hours while he was on and off duty.

He was arrested in the case and held on $5 million bail, but a judge later reduced his bail to $500,000. A bondsman put up a $500,000 bond, and Holtzclaw was released under house arrest at his parents’ home in Enid.
