Case Notes
Applicability.
Juveniles arrested for felonies, but not charged as delinquent juveniles were not “the subject of proceedings,” and therefore this section does not specifically apply. This construction is confirmed by the phrase “without written order of the juvenile court,” which clearly means that this section is to apply only to cases filed in the juvenile court. Troutt Bros. v. Emison, 311 Ark. 27, 841 S.W.2d 604 (1992).
