Take into Custody Order

proceeding, a take into custody order may be
issued by the judicial authority:
(1) Upon a finding of probable cause to believe

a delinquency petition or summons served in hand
or to a direct notice previously provided in court.
(b) Any application for a take into custody order
must be supported by a sworn statement alleging
facts to substantiate probable cause, and where
applicable, a petition or information charging a
delinquent act.
(c) Any child or youth detained under a take
into custody order is subject to Sections 30-1A
through 30-11.
