Except as provided in Section 15-10-11, a warrant or writ of arrest may be executed in the county in which it was issued, unless the defendant is in another county. When the defendant is in another county, it may be executed therein by any law enforcement officer having the warrant or writ. The law enforcement officer shall summon the assistance of local law enforcement if possible to assist in making the arrest and only then may exercise the same authority as the officer possesses in his or her own county or jurisdiction.
