Penn. Wash. Cnty. 130
As amended through June 1, 2022
Pursuant to the authority set forth in 130 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure, an arresting officer, when the officer deems it appropriate, may promptly release from custody a defendant who has been arrested without a warrant, rather than taking the defendant before the issuing authority, when the following conditions have been met:
When a defendant is released pursuant to Pa. R. Crim. P. 130(b) or pursuant to this rule, a complaint shall be filed against the defendant within five (5) days of the defendant's release. Thereafter, a summons, not a warrant or arrest, shall be issued and the case shall proceed as provided by Pa. R. Crim. P. 110.
