To the extent that any of the following information is available to the court, the magistrate, judge or court shall consider, in addition to any other circumstances, before determining bond and other conditions of release as necessary for the protection of the alleged victim, the following:

C. A person arrested for:

1. A violation of an ex parte or final protective order as provided in Sections 60.2 and 60.3 of this title;

2. An act constituting domestic abuse, domestic assault and battery or domestic assault and battery with a deadly weapon as specified in Section 644 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes; or

D. No police officer or sheriff may release a person arrested for any violation of subsection G of Section 2-401 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, without the violator appearing before a magistrate, judge, or court. In determining bond and other conditions of release, the magistrate, judge, or court shall consider any evidence that the person is in any manner dependent upon a controlled dangerous substance or has a pattern of regular, illegal use of any controlled dangerous substance. A rebuttable presumption that no conditions of release on bond would assure the safety of the community or any person therein shall arise if the state shows by clear and convincing evidence:

1. The person was arrested for a violation of subsection G of Section 2-401 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, relating to manufacturing or attempting to manufacture a controlled dangerous substance, or possessing any of the substances listed in subsection G of Section 2-401 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes with the intent to manufacture a controlled dangerous substance; and

2. The person is in any manner dependent upon a controlled dangerous substance or has a pattern of regular illegal use of a controlled dangerous substance, and the violation referred to in paragraph 1 of this subsection was committed or attempted in order to maintain or facilitate the dependence or pattern of illegal use in any manner.
