Here in Cincinnati, Ohio, I was hanging out with a friend Wednesday night at a local park. My friend's truck was parked at the side of the road when the police showed up. We came up the hill and asked if there were any problems. The officer informed us that the park closes at 10 pm, and that we weren't allowed to be there.
He asked to see I.D.. My friend didn't have I.D., and I did, so I provided mine, while he had to write his info down. I came back clean, however, a warrant from the state of Indiana came back on him. Upon that information, the officer cuffed him, told him he was under arrest for a warrant that came back in Indiana. Nothing more was said to him regarding the warrant or the charges for his arrest. Both of us were quite surprised (actually furious) about the warrant, but that's another issue. I have since visited him twice, and to date, he has not been Mirandized.
He also does not factually know (except by me) the charges he's facing. I'm not an attorney (obviously), so I do not know if that counts.
So my question is this...IS THIS A LEGAL DETENTION by the city of Cincinnati for charges he's facing in Indiana? ((Based on the fact that he has not been Mirandized yet?))
Thanks!
