  arrestee to judge or peace officer. 

    A private person who arrests another for a public offense 
 shall take the arrested person before a judge or to a peace 
 officer without unnecessary delay.  If a person arrested 
 escapes, the person from whose custody the person has escaped 
 may immediately pursue and retake the escapee, at any time and 
 in any place in the state.  For that purpose, the pursuer may 
 break open any door or window of a dwelling house if the pursuer 
 informs the escapee of the intent to arrest the escapee and the 
 pursuer is refused admittance.
