Latest version.
  • The  arrest of a person in this state may be lawfully made also by any
      police officer or a private person, without a warrant,  upon  reasonable
      information  that  the  accused  stands charged in the courts of another
      state with a crime punishable  by  death  or  imprisonment  for  a  term
      exceeding  one  year;  but  when  so  arrested the accused must be taken
      before a local criminal court with all practicable speed  and  complaint
      must  be  made  against  him under oath setting forth the ground for the
      arrest as in the preceding section; and, thereafter, his  answers  shall
      be heard as if he had been arrested on a warrant.
