  As used in this section:   “State” means any state of the United States and the District of Columbia;    “Peace officer” means any officer of another state having powers of arrest in that state;    “Fresh pursuit” means the pursuit without unnecessary delay of a person who has committed a crime or who is reasonably believed to have committed a crime.       Any peace officer of another state who enters this state in fresh pursuit and continues within this state in fresh pursuit of a person in order to arrest him on the ground that he has committed a crime in the other state has the same authority to arrest and hold such person in custody as a peace officer of this state has to arrest and hold a person in custody.    Except as otherwise provided by law, if an arrest is made in this state by a peace officer of another state in accordance with the provisions of this section, he shall without unnecessary delay take the person arrested before the nearest available judge of a court of record. Such judge shall conduct a hearing for the purpose of determining the lawfulness of the arrest. If the judge determines that the arrest was lawful, he shall commit the person arrested to await the time provided by law for issuance of an extradition warrant by the governor of this state, or the waiver thereof, and shall set bail if the offense is bailable under the laws of the state of Colorado. If the judge determines that the arrest was unlawful, he shall order the discharge of the person arrested.     History. Source: L. 72: R&RE, p. 198, § 1. C.R.S. 1963: § 39-3-104 .    ANNOTATION   Law reviews. For article, “Criminal Procedure in Colorado -- A Summary, and Recommendations for Improvement”, see 22 Rocky Mt. L. Rev. 221 (1950)(written under repealed CSA, C 48, § 564).   Three criteria used in determining “fresh pursuit”. Three criteria are to be utilized in analyzing what police activity can be categorized as fresh pursuit. They are: (1) The police must act without unnecessary delay; (2) the pursuit must be continuous and uninterrupted, but there need not be continuous surveillance of the suspect or uninterrupted knowledge of his whereabouts; and (3) the relationship between the commission of the offense, the commencement of the pursuit, and the apprehension of the suspect -- the greater the length of time, the less likely the police action constituted fresh pursuit. Charnes v. Arnold, 198 Colo. 362 , 600 P.2d 64 (1979).   Characterization as “fresh pursuit” not precluded even though officer does not follow suspect's route. Where the police responded immediately to a call concerning a hit-and-run accident and promptly pursued the only lead available, the address of the owner of the vehicle, the fact that the officer did not follow the suspect's route did not preclude the characterization of his action as fresh pursuit.

  When a person has been arrested without a warrant, he may be released by the arresting authority on its own authority if:   The arresting officer or a responsible command officer of the arresting authority is satisfied that there are no adequate grounds for criminal complaint against the person arrested; or    The offense for which the person was arrested and is being held is a misdemeanor or petty offense and the arresting officer or a responsible command officer of the arresting authority is satisfied that the person arrested will obey a summons commanding his appearance at a later date. (1.5) No person arrested for any crime or offense, the underlying factual basis of which includes an act of domestic violence as defined in section 18-6-800.3 (1) , C.R.S., shall be released at the scene of the alleged crime pursuant to subsection (1) of this section.       If the person is released in accordance with subsection (1)(b) of this section, he shall be given a summons and complaint as provided for in sections 16-2-104 and 16-2-106 and shall sign a written acknowledgment of its receipt and a promise to appear at the time and place specified.

Since § 16-3-108 is similar to repealed § 39-2-3 , C.R.S. 1963, relevant cases construing that provision have been included in the annotations to this section.   This section does not authorize a private citizen to seek an arrest warrant. Kailey v. Chambers, 261 P.3d 792 (Colo. App. 2011).   An arrest warrant is not appropriate where there are no facts to show that the arrestee has yet committed a criminal offense. People v. Hively, 173 Colo. 485 , 480 P.2d 558 (1971).   But federal warrants supported by affidavits provide basis for arrest. Even though the complaint filed by a district attorney, standing alone, would not support an arrest warrant because no facts were set forth to establish probable cause, where federal warrants were supported by affidavits which complied with all constitutional requirements, they provided a legitimate basis for an arrest. Sergent v. People, 177 Colo. 354 , 497 P.2d 983 (1972).   Applied in People v. Schultz, 200 Colo. 47 , 611 P.2d 977 (1980).
