OPINION
PETERSON, Judge.
In this pretrial appeal from an order suppressing evidence and dismissing all charges against respondent Lynn Edward Horner, the state argues that the trial court erred by concluding that the special deputies who arrested Horner were not peace officers with authority to make an investigative stop. The prosecutor also argues that even if the special deputies were not peace officers, their citizen’s arrest authority permitted them to detain Horner to determine whether he was under the influence of alcohol. We affirm in part, reverse in part and remand.
