§ 2963.09.
No person arrested upon a warrant under section 2963.07 of the Revised Code shall be delivered to the agent whom the executive authority demanding him appointed
to receive him unless such person is first taken forthwith before a judge of a court
of record in this state, who shall inform him of the demand made for his surrender
and of the crime with which he is charged, and that he has the right to demand and
procure legal counsel. If the prisoner or his counsel desires to test the legality of his arrest, the judge
shall fix a reasonable time to be allowed him within which to apply for a writ of
habeas corpus. When such writ is applied for, notice thereof and of the time and place of hearing
thereon, shall be given to the prosecuting officer of the county in which the arrest
is made and in which the accused is in custody, and to the said agent of the demanding
state. Whoever violates this section by willfully delivering a person arrested upon the governor's
warrant to an agent for extradition of the demanding state before a hearing, shall
be fined not more than one thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than six months,
or both.
