Michigan law requires peace officers who arrest someone without a warrant to promptly bring the individual before a magistrate in the district where the offense occurred and present a complaint. Similarly, private persons who make an arrest must deliver the arrested individual to a peace officer without delay, who then must also bring the person before a magistrate with a complaint. These provisions ensure proper legal process following an arrest, whether by law enforcement or private citizens.
