629.35 WHEN ARREST AT NIGHT IS PERMISSIBLE.
A peace officer may arrest a person at night without a warrant if the officer has reasonable
cause to believe that person has committed a felony. An arrest under this section is lawful even if
it appears after the arrest that no felony has been committed. When arresting a person at night
without a warrant, a peace officer shall inform that person of the officer's authority and the cause
of the arrest. This warning need not be given if the person is apprehended while committing a
public offense or is pursued immediately after escape.
