Pending final hearing, the court may at any time after the filing of the petition and on satisfactory showing that it is in the best interest of the person who is alleged to have mental retardation and of the community that the person be at once taken into custody, or that service of notice will be ineffectual if the person is not taken into custody, issue an order for the immediate production of the person before the court. In such case, the court may make any proper order for the custody or confinement of the person as will protect the person and the community and insure the presence of the person at the hearing. The person shall not be confined with those accused or convicted of crime.
