Supreme Court of Connecticut
In Re Jan Carlos D.
June 15, 2010297 Conn. 16
Summary
The court held that the warrantless-arrest statute requiring apprehension in the act or speedy information does not apply to juveniles who are served with a summons commencing delinquency proceedings. Reading the statute within the separate statutory scheme governing juvenile matters, the court concluded that the juvenile-specific summons and speedy-information provisions control. The court therefore reversed the dismissal of the delinquency proceedings and remanded for further proceedings.
