Answer to Question 1

Answer: This act provides that a peace officer of one state may enter another state in fresh pursuit to arrest an
offender who has committed a felony in the state from which he or she fled. There is no specific distance
set forth in the act that the officer may travel within the state in order to make the arrest. The act does
provide that after the arrest is made, the officer must take the arrested person before a local magistrate,
without unnecessary delay, for a hearing to determine the lawfulness of the arrest.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: There is reason to believe that a crime has been committed. There is reason to believe the arrested person
has committed the offense.
