(A) Whenever any person is arrested for a violation of any provision of this subchapter, the arresting officer shall, except as otherwise provided in § 73.11, take the name and address of such person and the license number of his or her motor vehicle and issue a summons or otherwise notify him or her in writing to appear at a time and place to be specified in such summons or notice. Such time shall be at least five days after such arrest unless the person arrested shall demand an earlier hearing. Such person shall, if he or she so desires, have a right to an immediate hearing or a hearing within 24 hours at a convenient hour, and before a court having jurisdiction within the town. Such officer shall thereupon and upon the giving by such person of his or her written promise to appear at such time and place forthwith release him or her from custody.
(B) Any person refusing to give such written promise to appear shall be taken immediately by the arresting or other police officer before the nearest or most accessible judicial officer or other person qualified to admit to bail having jurisdiction under this chapter.
