What is the procedure to use, when a private citizen places a sworn peace officer under "citizen's arrest"?

Asked by JackAdams (6574points) August 20th, 2008

If a citizen sees another citizen doing an illegal act, s/he can place that person under “citizen’s arrest.” But suppose the person committing the unlawful act is a sworn peace officer. How would you go about arresting him or her? This question is prompted by a real-life incident where the off-duty cop was driving drunk.
