My daughter got into a fight in the city and she then came home to our house which is in the county. Can a city policeman come to my house in the county and make an arrest for battery that he didn't even witness?
State is Indiana....
Thanks

I forgot to mention that my daughter is a minor at 15. Would they still need a warrant?

If a warrant is issued a police officer regardless of jurisdictions can enter and make an arrests.
The law is that police may not make a warrantless and nonconsensual or non- exigent circumstance entry into a suspect's home in order to make a routine felony arrest, even if the police have probable cause to make the arrest. On the other hand, where an arrest is initiated just outside the threshold of the suspect's home, as by announcing authority and intent, the suspect cannot avoid arrest by retreating into the home. This is basically a hot pursuit situation

If he has a warrant for her arrest, then yes.
But (other than very specific exceptions) an officer cannot make an arrest at a private home (of the person or parents) without a warrant.
The city versus county issue is generally not significant, though a county sheriff might be involved for procedural reasons. But the key issue is the need for a warrant.

Just because you found an article about an "illegal immigrant" that murdered people does not mean that you have to judge all of them for what 1 man did! What about charles manson? He was white. What about all of the other "legal" killers out there? Are they considered better than the "illegals"? A black man in Gautier, MS. raped and decapitated a 5 year old girl , is that OK, just because he's "legal"? My point is that you are assuming that ALL immigrants are no good just because of that article, when in reality there are NO GOOD people in every color and culture no matter what their legal status is!

I'm sure he can do that if the crime was committed in the city. Anybody can make an arrest anytime for that matter if they want. It's called a citizen's arrest, so I don't think this logic will work.

If he has a warrant, yes.
