jurisdiction within this State: (1) if the officer is engaged
in the investigation of an offense that occurred in the
officer's primary jurisdiction and the temporary questioning
is conducted or the arrest is made pursuant to that
investigation; or (2) if the officer, while on duty as a peace
officer, becomes personally aware of the immediate commission
of a felony or misdemeanor violation of the laws of this State;

State in fresh pursuit and continues within this State in fresh
pursuit of a person in order to arrest him on the ground that
he has committed an offense in the other State has the same
authority to arrest and hold the person in custody as peace
officers of this State have to arrest and hold a person in
custody on the ground that he has committed an offense in this
State.
    (c) If an arrest is made in this State by a peace officer
of another State in accordance with the provisions of this
Section he shall without unnecessary delay take the person
arrested before the circuit court of the county in which the
arrest was made. Such court shall conduct a hearing for the
purpose of determining the lawfulness of the arrest. If the
court determines that the arrest was lawful it shall commit the
person arrested, to await for a reasonable time the issuance of
an extradition warrant by the Governor of this State, or admit
him to bail for such purpose. If the court determines that the
arrest was unlawful it shall discharge the person arrested.
