Attorney Bailey stated Saturday morn
ing that it was his opinion an otflcer
could without a warrant arrest man
intoxicated who was creating a disturb
ance. but the charge against him should
be breach of the peace. Under the ola
prohibitory law any police officer, sheriff
or constable could make arrest for in
toxication, and hold the man until
warrant was procured. In further eX-
PLANTATION as to the fees it might be said
that the only difference to the city, no
matter who makes the arrest. is Sl5l. If
The arrest is made by a deputy sheriff
the fee of Sl51 goes to that officer, and
if the arrest is made by a regular patrol
man the fee of s1.51 goes to the city.
II the arrest is made by special that
officer secures the fee. One half of the
fines go to the city in any event.
