Section 504-A:4 Violation of the Terms of Probation or Parole.


   I. Any probationer or parolee may be arrested without warrant at any time by any probation or parole officer, or any other officer authorized to arrest upon request of a probation or parole officer, when the probation or parole officer has reason to believe that the probationer or parolee has committed a new criminal offense or is conducting himself in such a way as to be a menace to public safety, or there is probable cause to believe that the probationer or parolee will abscond or commit new criminal offenses if not arrested.
   II. When a parolee violates the conditions of his parole but does not meet the criteria for immediate arrest, a probation or parole officer with knowledge of the circumstances of the parole violation shall report the facts surrounding the violation to any member of the parole board who may issue a warrant for the arrest of the parolee.
