14.1.5.220 Arrest to Enforce Control Measures

(a) A law enforcement officer may detain an individual for violation of an order limiting freedom of movement or access issued pursuant to this Act from any area prohibited by the Public Health Officer pursuant to such order. The person may be detained in the area designated until the initial appearance before the Court pursuant to Pueblo law.

(b) If a judge of the Court conducting an initial appearance finds by clear and convincing evidence that a person arrested for violation of an order limiting freedom of movement or access issued pursuant to this Act poses a threat to the health and safety of others, the judge shall order the person to be confined in an area or facility designated by the Public Health Officer pursuant to their isolation and quarantine authority. Such pretrial confinement shall terminate when a judge determines that the confined person does not pose a threat to the health and safety of others. These determinations shall be made only after the Public Health Officer has made recommendations to the court.
