§ 171.184. Proceedings upon complaint for offenses triable in another county

1. When a complaint is laid before a magistrate of the commission of a public offense

triable in another county of the State, but showing that the defendant is in the county

where the complaint is laid, the same proceedings must be had as prescribed in this

chapter except that the warrant must require the defendant to be taken before the

nearest or most accessible magistrate of the county in which the offense is triable,

and the depositions of the complainant or prosecutor, and of the witnesses who may

have been produced, must be delivered by the magistrate to the officer to whom the

warrant is delivered. 2. The officer who executed the warrant must take the defendant before the nearest

or most accessible magistrate of the county in which the offense is triable, and must

deliver the depositions and the warrant, with the officer’s return endorsed thereon,

and the magistrate must then proceed in the same manner as upon a warrant issued by

the magistrate. 3. If the offense charged in the warrant issued pursuant to subsection 1 is a misdemeanor,

the officer must, upon being required by the defendant, take the defendant before

a magistrate of the county in which the warrant was issued, who must admit the defendant

to bail, and immediately transmit the warrant, depositions and undertaking to the

justice of the peace or clerk of the court in which the defendant is required to appear.
