Pay very close attention to the details of the private person making arrests in Ohio.
If one is on the brink of arresting someone else, they should know that there are four conditions that must be present to make detaining an individual a lawful act.
Before arresting anyone, you must have a reasonable belief—or, better yet, have seen the act go down—that they committed a felony.
Second, you can only detain the suspect until the police can furnish an arrest warrant. This can be done fairly quickly—usually, within a matter of hours.
At the start of the arrest, you must tell the detainee that you intend to detain them and why you are doing it.
Fourth, you have to either transport the detainee to a court or judge that can make a determination about the act committed, or hand them over to a law enforcement officer. Once at the court, you will be required to file an affidavit—wherein you will swear under penalty of perjury that the facts present at the time of arrest show that a citizen’s arrest was justifiable.
ORC 2935.04
When a felony has been committed, or there is reasonable ground to believe that a felony has been committed, any person without a warrant may arrest another whom he has reasonable cause to believe is guilty of the offense, and detain him until a warrant can be obtained.
ORC 2935.06
A private person who has made an arrest pursuant to section 2935.04 of the Revised Code or detention pursuant to section 2935.041 of the Revised Code shall forthwith take the person arrested before the most convenient judge or clerk of a court of record or before a magistrate, or deliver such person to an officer authorized to execute criminal warrants who shall, without unnecessary delay, take such person before the court or magistrate having jurisdiction of the offense. The officer may, but if he does not, the private person shall file or cause to be filed in such court or before such magistrate an affidavit stating the offense for which the person was arrested.
ORC 2935.07
When an arrest is made without a warrant by an officer, he shall inform the person arrested of such officer's authority to make the arrest and the cause of the arrest.
When an arrest is made by a private person, he shall, before making the arrest, inform the person to be arrested of the intention to arrest him and the cause of the arrest.
When a person is engaged in the commission of a criminal offense, it is not necessary to inform him of the cause of his arrest.
