The federal court ordered on Friday the transfer to the District of South Carolina a man who was indicted in 2015 with false statement in that district and was arrested last Thursday on Saipan.<\/p>\n
U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona directed the U.S. Marshal Service to transfer Tarrell Darnell Murphy, who waived his right to have an identity hearing.<\/p>\n
Murphy did not dispute that it was him who was indicted in South Carolina and is the subject of an arrest warrant.<\/p>\n
Murphy, who was represented by attorney Bruce Berline, has also agreed to voluntary removal.<\/p>\n
Manglona said Murphy will be held pending his transfer.<\/p>\n
Berline asked about the time frame to transfer Murphy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m concerned about lengthy detention here,\u201d Berline said.<\/p>\n
U.S. Marshal Don Hall said they will be moving quickly with the transfer, which may take place within 10 calendar days.<\/p>\n
The U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina issued the arrest warrant on July 30, 2015.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, the District of Carolina issued the arrest warrant against Murphy for failure to appear for initial appearance on a supervised release violation scheduled for July 21, 2015 at 10am.<\/p>\n
According to an indictment, on March 2, 2015 in the District of South Carolina, Murphy \u201cknowingly made a false statement in an application for a passport with intent to induce and secure for his own use the issuance of a passport.\u201d<\/p>\n
In that application, Murphy allegedly assumed the identity of \u201cDemetrius Rakim Mcllwain,\u201d which identify he knew to be false.<\/p>\n
Court documents did not indicate the specific place on Saipan where the defendant was arrested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
