     629.36 Permitting bystander to deliver arrested person 
  to peace officer. 

    When a bystander arrests a person for breach of the peace, 
 the bystander may deliver that person to a peace officer.  The 
 peace officer shall take the arrested person to a judge for 
 criminal processing.  When a public offense is committed in the 
 presence of a judge, the judge may, by written or verbal order, 
 command any person to arrest the offender, and then proceed as 
 if the offender had been brought before the court on a warrant 
 of arrest.
