Section 15-9-42

Arrest without warrant - Commitment to jail or admission to bail.

If, from the examination before the district or circuit court judge, it appears that the person held is the person charged with having committed the crime alleged, that he probably committed the crime and, except in cases arising under Section 15-9-34, that he has fled from justice, the judge must commit him to jail by a warrant reciting the accusation for such a time specified in the warrant as will enable the arrest of the accused to be made under a warrant of the Governor on a requisition of the executive authority of the state having jurisdiction of the offense, unless the accused gives bail as provided in Section 15-9-43, or until he shall be legally discharged.
