Within the jurisdictional limits of his appointing authority, any peace officer shall stop and detain any person found violating Section 341.09, without obtaining a warrant. When there is reasonable ground to believe that a violation of Ohio R.C. 4506.15 has been committed and a test or tests of the person’s blood, breath or urine is necessary, the peace officer shall take the person to an appropriate place for testing. If the person refuses to submit to a test after being warned as provided in Ohio R.C. 4506.17(C) or submits to a test that discloses the presence of a controlled substance or an alcohol concentration of four-hundredths of one percent or more, the peace officer shall require that the person immediately surrender his commercial driver’s license to the peace officer.
As used in this section, “jurisdictional limits” means the limits within which a peace officer may arrest and detain a person without a warrant under Ohio R.C. 2903.03, except that City Law Enforcement Officers may stop and detain, without warrant, any person who, in the presence of the Superintendent or any patrolman, is engaged in the violation of this chapter.
