It would appear that Stefan Warner has been formally charged, arraigned, and bail set at $1,000 on one count of a terrorism hoax. I did not look up the other woman, but I assume that she has also been charged formally.
That says a judge has been appointed to determine probable cause in the arrest. According to http://www.oklahomacounty.org/Judges/page/Judge-Russell-Hall... that judge calls 45,000 cases per year - that's a case every 20 minutes 24x7. One imagines he has a low tolerance for people wasting his time.
It seems to me there's a clear difference between a "terrorism hoax" and "jumping at shadows", just waiting to be clearly exploited by their counsel...
That record looks fairly sparse. I think the default behavior is that they move forward like they will prosecute until a decision has been made not to.

With that sort of throughput, I have to wonder if he even has the time to determine if people are wasting his time.
