§ 120.40 Warrant of arrest; attaching accusatory instrument to warrant

of town court, village court or city court.

A town court, village court or city court which issues a warrant of
arrest may attach thereto a duplicate copy of the underlying accusatory
instrument. If one or more duplicate copies of the warrant are issued,
such court may attach as many copies of such accusatory instrument to
copies of such warrant as it chooses. In any case where, pursuant to
subdivision five of section 120.90, a defendant arrested upon such a
warrant of arrest is brought before a local criminal court other than
the town court, village court or city court in which the warrant is
returnable, a copy of the accusatory instrument constitutes a valid
basis for arraignment, as provided in subdivision one of section 170.15.
