HEAD
Sec. 3606. Arrest and return of a probationer
STATUTE
If there is probable cause to believe that a probationer or a
person on supervised release has violated a condition of his
probation or release, he may be arrested, and, upon arrest, shall
be taken without unnecessary delay before the court having
jurisdiction over him. A probation officer may make such an arrest
wherever the probationer or releasee is found, and may make the
arrest without a warrant. The court having supervision of the
probationer or releasee, or, if there is no such court, the court
last having supervision of the probationer or releasee, may issue a
warrant for the arrest of a probationer or releasee for violation
of a condition of release, and a probation officer or United States
marshal may execute the warrant in the district in which the
warrant was issued or in any district in which the probationer or
releasee is found.
