CASE NOTES

UNSUPERVISED DEPUTIES.

Where defendant was arrested and issued citation for a misdemeanor by two unsupervised Auxiliary deputies, defendant could not be tried or convicted of the offense because unsupervised Auxiliary deputies lacked authority to lawfully charge defendant with a misdemeanor offense. Brewer v. State, 286 Ark. 1, 688 S.W.2d 736 (1985).
