Prosecutor Bianchi Stated:

"I have initiated the Governor's Warrant Process which I expect to have before the Governor's Office this week. The Governor's Warrant Process takes up to 90 days to complete and begins when the Governor of New Jersey sends the Governor's Warrant to North Carolina's Governor. The defendant will then return to court when the warrant gets to North Carolina at which time he will be arraigned."
