29-05-21. Officer not liable to arrest while in charge of a person arrested

29-05-21. Officer not liable to arrest while in charge of a person arrested 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.
