Rule 9.5 – Violations of Conditions of Release

(a) A judicial officer shall issue a warrant directing that the defendant be arrested and taken forthwith before any judicial officer having jurisdiction of the charge for a hearing when the prosecuting attorney submits a verified application alleging that:

(i) the defendant has willfully violated the conditions of his release or the terms of an order under Rule 9.3; or
(ii) pertinent information which would merit revocation of the defendant’s release has become known to the prosecuting attorney.
(b) A law enforcement officer having reasonable grounds to believe that a released defendant has violated the conditions of his release or the terms of an order under Rule 9.3 is authorized to arrest the defendant and to take him forthwith before any judicial officer having jurisdiction when it would be impracticable to secure a warrant.
(c) After a hearing, and upon finding that the defendant has willfully violated reasonable conditions or the terms of an order under Rule 9.3 imposed on his release, the judicial officer may impose different or additional conditions of release upon the defendant or revoke his release.
