Facts: A warrant of arrest is issued by a trial court for Enrique Reyes in connection with a robbery. Police Officer Lara, with two assistants, goes to Reyes’s home at 3:15 a.m. and, after knocking, displays the warrant and identifies herself as a peace officer. She arrests Reyes at his doorstep without reading the grounds for the arrest to him and without asking Reyes whether he knows the grounds for the arrest, and then takes him to the police station. (a) Identify the controlling rule on How a warranted arrest must be made under Rule 113 and explain the required steps for a valid execution. (b) Apply that rule to Reyes’s arrest in the facts and determine whether it complies. (c) If it does not comply, state the remedies available and the likely impact on the admissibility of evidence obtained as a result.
