The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal by the State from an order dismissing the case because of improper arrest. The issue arose in the following fashion. On June 1, 1981, a complaint was filed in the district court of Pratt County charging Debbie Hennessee with the theft of a microwave oven in violation of K.S.A. 21-3701. Based on this complaint a warrant for Hennessee's arrest was issued the same day. The appellee lived in Stafford County. The Pratt County sheriff, Ray McGuire, traveled from Pratt County to Hennessee's residence in Stafford County and arrested her with warrant in hand. Present at the time of the arrest were Gary Pettijohn, an agent for the KBI, and Stafford County Sheriff Bill Christy. McGuire had previously called Christy and requested him to meet McGuire at Hennessee's residence. It is undisputed McGuire made the actual arrest. Appellant's counsel also conceded at oral argument McGuire was not in fresh pursuit of Hennessee and that Sheriff Christy did not request McGuire's assistance.
