440.250 Procedure upon arrest.
No person arrested upon such warrant shall be delivered over to the agent whom the
executive authority demanding him shall have appointed to receive him unless he shall
first be taken forthwith before a judge of a Circuit Court or District Court in this state,
who shall inform him of the demand made for his surrender and of the crime with which
he is charged, and that he has the right to demand and procure legal counsel; and if the
prisoner or his counsel shall state that he or they desire to test the legality of his arrest, the
judge of such court shall fix a reasonable time to be allowed him within which to apply
for a writ of habeas corpus. When such writ is applied for, notice thereof, and of the time
and place of hearing thereon, shall be given to the prosecuting attorney of the county in
which the arrest is made and in which the accused is in custody, and to the said agent of
the demanding state.
