Judiciary (JUD) CHAPTER 30, ARTICLE 13
§ 400. Sheriff may command power of county to overcome resistance. If
a sheriff, to whom a mandate is directed and delivered, finds, or has
reason to apprehend, that resistance will be made to the execution
thereof, he may command all persons in his county, or as many as he
thinks proper, and with such arms as he directs, to assist him in
overcoming the resistance and, if necessary, in arresting and confining
the resisters, their aiders and abettors, to be dealt with according to
law.
