Delaware HB76 amends Title 11 by modifying the conditions under which a private person can make an arrest without a warrant. The bill specifies that a private person can arrest someone without a warrant if they have reasonable information that the person is charged with a crime punishable by death or imprisonment for more than one year. The arrested individual must then be taken before a judge or justice of the peace as soon as practicable, and a complaint must be filed under oath.
