Milwaukee Judge Arrested for Aiding an Illegal Alien to Escape

Does it concern anyone that she has been arrested without a signed warrant?

Is that a common event in USA?

The United States Supreme Court has never ruled warrantless arrests are not permitted, period. However, some do require warrants, such as a home arrest. State laws also govern arrests. For example, in Ohio, police who did not witness a Misdemeanor crime "In their presence" can not make a warrantless arrest, with a few exceptions. Both state and federal arrest laws are constrained by the Fourth Amendment. The federal Constitution can permit something, but a State can prohibit it.

Here is a good example of arrest case law.

Edit. To add, Ohio does not permit what is noted, that is, an arrest for an offense punishable by a fine only, with a general few exceptions.

I guess a grand jury in Wisconsin saw her actions were enough to indict.
Granted they had more access to facts not conflicting stories in media.

I live in the Milw area. Both the court bailiff and the former defense attorney (he has since resigned from the case) testified to the grand jury.

In Australia, if a crime is committed in front of a law enforcement officer, are they not allowed to arrest that person immediately? They are in the US, in fact, it would be dereliction of duty not to do so. The person than has to be charged with a crime and appear in front of a magistrate without a set period of time.
Also, Flores-Ruiz was arrested OUTSIDE the courthouse.
I live in the area.
