shall be made without a hearing within fifteen days of such arrest. If the determination is made that he
be held in accordance with the terms of his original commitment, he shall be so held, pending a hearing
pursuant to § 80.84 to determine whether his parole should be revoked.
(5) that the parolee be arrested and held forthwith in accordance with the terms of his original
commitment to await a hearing pursuant to § 80.84 to determine whether his parole should be revoked.
(b) If a parole officer has probable cause to believe that a parolee has violated or is about to violate a
condition of parole and that an emergency situation exists, so that awaiting determination by the board
would create an undue risk to the public or to the parolee, the parole officer may arrest the parolee or cause
him to be arrested, with or without first issuing a warrant for his detention, and may call on any law
enforcement office to assist in the arrest.
(1) The parolee shall thereupon be detained on the written order or warrant of the parole office in
a local jail, lockup, or other detention facility, pending action by the Board of Parole.
(2) Immediately after such arrest and detention, the parole officer concerned shall notify the board
and submit a written report of the reason for such arrest.
(3) Thereupon the board may order the release of the parolee or take such action as is authorized
in Subsection (a) with respect to parolees arrested under its warrant.
(c) [No text]
(1) If a parolee is a participant in the Guam Adult Reentry Court Program, the violation of a
condition of parole shall be addressed in the Guam Adult Reentry Court.
(2) If a parolee fails to complete or is terminated from the Guam Adult Reentry Court Program,
