     629.35 When arrest at night is permissible. 

    A peace officer may arrest a person at night without a 
 warrant if the officer has reasonable cause to believe that 
 person has committed a felony.  An arrest under this section is 
 lawful even if it appears after the arrest that no felony has 
 been committed. When arresting a person at night without a 
 warrant, a peace officer shall inform that person of the 
 officer's authority and the cause of the arrest.  This warning 
 need not be given if the person is apprehended while committing 
 a public offense or is pursued immediately after escape.
