§ 5924.09.
(A) Arrest is the restraint of a person by an oral or written order, not imposed as a
punishment for an offense, directing the person to remain within certain specified
limits. Confinement is the physical restraint of a person that is imposed by order of competent
authority and deprives the person of freedom pending disposition of criminal charges. (B) An enlisted member may be ordered into arrest or confinement by any commanding officer
by an order, oral or written, delivered in person or through other persons subject
to this code or through any person authorized by this code to apprehend persons. A commanding officer may authorize warrant officers or noncommissioned officers
to order enlisted members of the commanding officer's command or enlisted members
subject to the commanding officer's authority into arrest or confinement. (C) A commissioned officer or a warrant officer may be ordered apprehended or into arrest
or confinement only by a commanding officer to whose authority the commissioned officer
or warrant officer is subject, by an order, oral or written, delivered in person or
by another commissioned officer. The authority to order such persons apprehended or into arrest or confinement may
not be delegated. (D) No person may be ordered apprehended or into arrest or confinement except for probable
cause. (E) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the authority of persons authorized
to apprehend offenders to secure the custody of an alleged offender until proper authority
may be notified.
