Had to Google the difference in detained and arrested, but Mercedes could probably explain it better and why there are both words being used. Just glad this case is progressing, all in all.
I think there is a difference. Detained implies, IMO, the person is being held for questions and for determination if arrest is warranted. If person has an alibi for example, then he may not be arrested. I tend to have a huge hunch this guy will be arrested.I could go down the legal definitions between the two (arrest implies someone was read their Miranda for example) but I assume that the media simply uses the two terms interchangeably here.![]()

Arrest vs. Detention: How to Tell Whether You’ve Been Arrested or Simply Detained
Interesting article on the subject.
It is sort of hard to explain, but if you are detained for questioning, you are usually “free to go.” If you are arrested, you cannot leave, you are actually charged, your Miranda rights are read, you are taken into custody, and will be taken before a Magistrate within a certain amount of time.
Perhaps NickoD can explain it better, from a police officer’s perspective.
Mandan PD has a statement on their official FB page.
Maybe here? http://publicsearch.ndcourts.gov/default.aspxAnybody know where we can find recent arrests for that area?
