REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 268F.
In the introductory language of subsection (b) of this section, the reference
to discovery "or" arrest is substituted for the former reference to discovery
"and" arrest for clarity. The Criminal Law Article Review Committee
brings this substitution to the attention of the General Assembly.
In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the word "arrest" is substituted for the
former word "apprehension" for consistency within this subsection.
In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the word "crime" is substituted for the
former phrase "punishable offense" for brevity.
Defined terms: "Fugitive" § 9-401
