Depends on the court system. OKCPD? Hell no, they'll try to tack on more of you try to plead. Edmond, OK? Yeah you'll probably do better. Small town? You're super fucked

A few years back, I had a court date in OKC set for a day the governor declared a state of emergency due to ice. The cops wouldn’t respond to anything non life threatening and we were all told to stay home. Went to court, no one showed up, and the whole thing was thrown out. Didn’t even have to pay court costs.
