SUPERVISION WITHOUT WARRANT -- AGENT'S WARRANT -- DETENTION -- REPORT TO
COMMISSION OR COURT. (1) Any parole or probation officer may arrest a parolee,
probationer, or person under drug court supervision without a warrant, or may

setting forth that the parolee, probationer, or person under drug court
supervision has, in the judgment of said parole or probation officer, violated
the conditions of drug court or conditions of his parole or probation.
(2) Such written statement or agent's warrant, delivered with the
parolee, probationer, or person under drug court supervision by the arresting
officer to the official in charge of the institution from which the parolee
was released, the county jail or other place of detention, shall be sufficient
warrant for the detention of the probationer, parolee, or person under drug
court supervision.
(3) The agent's warrant issued by the parole or probation officer shall
be sufficient authorization for a local law enforcement officer to transport
the probationer, parolee, or person under drug court supervision to the
appropriate jurisdiction to be housed pending appearance before the sentencing
court or the commission.
(4) The parole and probation officer shall at once notify the commission,
or the court, of the arrest and detention of the parolee, probationer, or
person under drug court supervision, and shall submit in writing a report
showing in what manner the parolee, probationer, or person under drug court
supervision is alleged to have violated the condition of his or her parole,
probation, or drug court program.
(5) In counties where there are misdemeanor probation officers in
addition to department of correction parole or probation officers, those
officers shall have the same authority conferred upon department of correction
parole or probation officers in this section, to arrest a misdemeanor
probationer without a warrant for misdemeanor probation violations occurring
in the officer's presence as otherwise provided in this section.
