Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Fauquier County sent a teletype to the Hanover County Sheriff’s Department stating the defendant’s name and the crime with which he was charged and requesting his detention. The teletype constituted authority for the Hanover County Sheriff’s Department to arrest the defendant. See Code § 19.2-81. Thus, the defendant’s detention pursuant to that authority was an arrest on the escape charge.”
