A duly authorized inspector, sheriff, deputy sheriff, or peace officer may stop and inspect a motor or other vehicle transporting or containing livestock, or the carcasses of livestock, and demand from the person operating the motor or other vehicle the exhibition of a bill of sale, permit, or certificate. If a person who transports or possesses livestock, or the carcasses of livestock, is unable to exhibit to an inspector or peace officer a bill of sale, permit, or certificate, the inspector or peace officer may arrest, with or without warrant, the person, take possession of the motor vehicle or other vehicle and the livestock or carcasses, and retain such possession until the person operating the motor vehicle or other vehicle can produce satisfactory evidence that the person, or the person, firm, or corporation for whom the livestock or carcasses are being transported, is the lawful owner of the livestock or carcasses or until the livestock or carcasses are disposed of as provided in sections 35-53-118 and 35-53-119.
