It shall also include the pursuit of a person suspected of having committed a supposed felony in this state, though no felony has actually been committed, if there is reasonable ground for so believing. Fresh pursuit as used in NRS 171.166 to 171.176, inclusive, shall not necessarily imply instant pursuit, but pursuit without unreasonable delay.
