13-4126. Delivery and service of writ


A. If the writ is directed to the sheriff or other officer of the court out of
which the writ is issued, it shall be delivered by the clerk to such officer without
delay, as other writs are delivered for service. If the writ is directed to any other
officer or person, the writ shall be delivered to the sheriff, and shall be by him served
upon such officer or person by delivering the writ to him without delay.


B. If the officer or person to whom the writ is directed cannot be found, or
refuses admittance of the officer or person serving or delivering the writ, the writ may
be served or delivered by leaving it at the residence of the officer or person to whom it
is directed, or by affixing it on some conspicuous place on the outside either of his
dwelling house or of the place where the party is confined or under restraint.
