alleged violation.

of the person or request that a warrantless arrest be made of the person pursuant to section 15, subsection
1, paragraph A, subparagraph (15). The court shall provide the person with an initial appearance on the
revocation of administrative release within 5 days after arrest unless the person is released before that.
