(1) At any time before forfeiture, any surety may procure a certified copy of the bail bond which shall authorize any peace officer to whom it is presented to arrest the defendant in any county within the Commonwealth and to deliver the defendant and the certified copy of the bail bond to the jailer in the county in which the prosecution is pending. The jailer shall acknowledge the surrender in writing. (2) Upon presentation of the writing executed by the jailer, the court before which the defendant has been held to answer shall, after five (5) days notice to the county attorney, order that the surety or sureties be exonerated from liability on the bond or recognizance and that any money or bonds that have been deposited as bail be returned to the person making the deposit.
