When you are arrested, you are taken into custody. This means that you are not free to leave the scene. However, without being arrested, you still could be detained or held for questioning for a short time if a police officer or other person believes you may be involved in a crime. For example, an officer may detain you if you are carrying a large box near a recent burglary site. Storekeepers also can detain you if they reasonably suspect you have stolen something. Whether you are arrested or detained, you do not have to answer any questions except to give your name and address and show some identification if requested.

Reports on Fallon wreck that killed boy sent to attorney general
Police reports on an accident that led to the death of a 12-year-old Fallon boy last summer are being reviewed by the Nevada Attorney General's Office.
Churchill County District Attorney Arthur Mallory said he sent the case to the state because he knows the victim's family, along with the driver of the car that struck Jeremiah Horne while Jeremiah was riding his bicycle on U.S. Highway 50 near Gummow Drive in August. Mallory attends the Church of Latter Day Saints with the Horne family and with Richard G. Hutchings.
Hutchings was driving a 2005 GMC pickup hauling a horse trailer when his vehicle drifted into the bicycle lane and hit Horne.
The boy was airlifted to Renown Regional Medical Center, where he died three days later on Aug. 17.
"People in our office were associated both with the victim's family and the alleged defendant's family, so we need a total independent evaluation," said Mallory.
Not a word about sex
Had the president's aides wished to spare him some grief over breakfast yesterday, they would have given him a copy of the Orthodox daily Hamodia.
Under the main headline about transferring funds to the Palestinian Authority, the Agudat Yisrael mouthpiece published various stories on housing for Gush Katif evacuees and news from the Jewish world.

Madison County judges severing multi-plaintiff Vioxx claims
With hundreds of Vioxx product liability cases to sift through, some Madison County judges seem willing to -- as one defense lawyer put it, "halt the gerrymandering of joinder."
Merck & Co., Walgreens, and Osco Drugs -- defendants in a myriad of lawsuits brought by plaintiffs claiming heart-related problems from taking the recalled arthritis pain-reliever -- recently filed motions to sever the claims of 10 plaintiffs claiming only one of them is a resident of Madison County.
The motions asked Circuit Judge Daniel Stack to separate into single cases those claims and then transfer the plaintiffs with no ties to Madison County on the grounds of forum non conveniens.
Stack granted the motions to sever and set a Feb. 7 hearing to rule on the forum issue.
