That can slow the transfer of an inmate to Anchorage or Wasilla, and it can put a gap between the arrest date on the police report and the booking date in DOC records. Keep an eye on VINE for updates, and check CourtView for the next hearing. If the case is tied to a federal charge, the file may move to the federal system out of Anchorage.
