Text

While having in charge any person arrested in a criminal action or proceeding, neither the
officer, nor any of the officer's assistants, is liable to arrest on civil process, and such officer is
authorized to require any citizen to aid in securing the accused and to retake the accused, if the
accused escapes, in any part of the state, as if the officer were within the officer's own county. A
refusal or neglect to render such aid is an offense in the same manner as if the arresting officer
were an officer of the county where such aid is required.
