(a) A law enforcement officer may detain an individual arrested for violation of an order limiting freedom of movement or access issued pursuant to this chapter from any area prohibited by the Yurok Public Health Officer pursuant to such order. The person may be detained in the area designated until the initial appearance before the Yurok Tribal Court pursuant to Yurok law.

(b) If a judge of the Yurok Tribal Court conducting an initial appearance finds by clear and convincing evidence that a person arrested for violation of an order limiting freedom of movement or access issued pursuant to this chapter poses a threat to the health and safety of others, the judge shall order the person to be confined in an area or facility designated by the Yurok Public Health Officer pursuant to their isolation and quarantine authority. Such pretrial confinement shall terminate when a judge determines that the confined person does not pose a threat to the health and safety of others. These determinations shall be made only after the Yurok Pubic Health Officer has made recommendations to the court. [Ord. 70 § 4303, amended, 1/21/2021; Ord. 65 § 4303, adopted, 4/22/2020.]
