16-94-214. Arrest without warrant.
(a) The arrest of a person may be lawfully made also by an officer or a private citizen 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 (1) year; but when so arrested the accused must be taken before a judge or magistrate with all practicable speed and complaint must be made against him or her under oath setting forth the ground for the arrest as in the last section; and thereafter his or her answer shall be heard as if he or she had been arrested on a warrant.
(b) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, a law enforcement officer shall deliver a person in custody to the accredited agent or agents of a demanding state without the Governor's warrant provided that:
(1) Such person is alleged to have broken the terms of his or her probation, parole, bail or any other release of the demanding state; and
(2) The law enforcement agency has received from the demanding state an authenticated copy of a prior waiver of extradition signed by such person as a term of his or her probation, parole, bail or any other release of the demanding state. The copy shall contain photographs, fingerprints or other evidence properly identifying such person as the person who signed the waiver.
