Q: In Oklahoma how much jail time can you get for not completing 18 hours of community service
A: No real way to know until you consult/ retain an attorney to go negotiate with the District Attorneys office. It could range from meaningful time in jail or prison to an agreement for some additional time to complete the hours/days and a dismissal of the Application to Accelerate or Revoke. Hire an attorney.
David A. Cincotta agrees with this answer
A: If you pled to a case and part of the agreement was for you to complete community service hours, and you fail to complete them in the time allotted, the State could file an Application to Accelerate (if you are on a deferred) or an Application to Revise (if you are on a suspended). In either case, you are risking jail or prison time as referenced in you plea deal. Like Tracey said, hire an experienced attorney to argue on your behalf and you will most likely get a chance to redeem yourself in someway, especially since community service isn't really an option right now with COVID-19 interrupting normal court services process.
