78B-6-305. Duty of sheriff -- Excuse for nonappearance -- Unnecessary restraint
forbidden.
(1) Upon executing the warrant of attachment, the sheriff shall keep the person in
custody and bring the person before the court or judge until an order is made in the premises,
unless the person arrested posts bail as provided in Section 78B-6-306.
(2) Whenever by the provisions of this chapter an officer is required to keep in custody a
person arrested on a warrant of attachment and to bring the person before a court or judge, the
inability from illness or otherwise of the person to attend is a sufficient excuse for not bringing
the person up; and the officer must not confine a person arrested upon the warrant in a prison or
otherwise restrain the person of personal liberty, except so far as may be necessary to secure the
person's personal attendance.
