On the morning after the incident, Henry Carmichael, a white detective, and Henry C. Pack, a black patrolman, located Rowland on Greenwood Avenue and detained him. Rowland was initially taken to the Tulsa city jail at the corner of First Street and Main Street. Late that day, Police Commissioner J. M. Adkison said he had received an anonymous telephone call threatening Rowland's life. He ordered Rowland transferred to the more secure jail on the top floor of the Tulsa County Courthouse.<ref>{{cite news |last=Krehbiel |first=Randy |work=Tulsa World |title=Tulsa Race Riot legacy still felt in the city |date=April 29, 2011 |access-date=November 30, 2011 |url=http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=11&articleid=20110529_16_A1_Alotha882074&allcom=1&r=8175 }}</ref>{{sfn|Hirsch|2002|pp=79–80}}

Rowland was well known among attorneys and other legal professionals within the city, many of whom knew him through his work as a shoeshiner. Some witnesses later recounted hearing several attorneys defend Rowland in their conversations with one another. One of the men said, "Why, I know that boy, and have known him a good while. That's not in him."<ref>{{cite book |editor-last1=Franklin |editor-first1=John Hope |editor-last2=Franklin |editor-first2=John Whittington |title=My Life and An Era: The Autobiography of Buck Colbert Franklin |url=https://archive.org/details/mylifeandera00john |url-access=registration |first=Buck Colbert |last=Franklin |date=2000 |publisher=Louisiana State University Press |pages=[https://archive.org/details/mylifeandera00john/page/195 195–196] }}</ref>
