Article 8 of the UCMJ
"Article 8-Apprehension of Deserters
Any civil officer having authority to apprehend offenders under the laws of the United States or of a State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession, or the District of Columbia may summarily apprehend a deserter from the armed forces and deliver him into the custody of these forces.
Generally speaking, a civilian has no authority to apprehend a suspected deserter. Usually the civilian notifies a civil or military authority about suspicions of desertion. However, once the military sends out a formal declaration that a person is a deserter and offers a reward for picking the deserter up, a private citizen has sufficient authority to apprehend. Even if a civilian apprehends and delivers a deserter without authority, that deserter will be held for trial. A deserter may be apprehended by anyone-the FBI, military police, civil police, and private citizens. "
