The
arrest of a person may be lawfully made by any peace officer or private person,
without a warrant, upon reasonable information that the accused stands charged
in the courts of a 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 judge or magistrate with all practicable speed and complaint must be made
against him under oath, setting forth the ground for the arrest, as provided in
Code Section 17-13-33; and thereafter the answer of the accused shall be heard
as if he had been arrested on a warrant.
