Where this section sits in the code
- OK Code
- Title 21
A. Every person who buys or receives, in any manner, upon any
consideration, personal property of a value of One Thousand Dollars
($1,000.00) or more that has been stolen, embezzled, obtained by
false pretense or robbery, knowing or having reasonable cause to
believe the same to have been stolen, embezzled, obtained by false
pretense, or robbery, or who conceals, withholds, or aids in
concealing or withholding such property from the owner shall, upon
conviction, be guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment in the
custody of the Department of Corrections not to exceed five (5)
years, or in the county jail not to exceed one (1) year, or by a
fine not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), or by both such
fine and imprisonment. If the personal property that has been
stolen, embezzled, obtained by false pretense or robbery has a value
of less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), the person shall,
upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by
imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one (1) year.
B. Every person who, without making reasonable inquiry, buys,
receives, conceals, withholds, or aids in concealing or withholding
any property which has been stolen, embezzled, obtained by false
pretense or robbery, or otherwise feloniously obtained, under such
circumstances as should cause such person to make reasonable inquiry
to ascertain that the person from whom such property was bought or
received had the legal right to sell or deliver it shall be presumed
to have bought or received such property knowing it to have been so
stolen or wrongfully obtained. This presumption may, however, be
rebutted by proof.
