Shortly thereafter Defendant was apprehended by law enforcement.

See 27-CR-26-1201, 27-CR-25-32120, 62-SU-CR-25-4594, 27-CR-25-25426 and 27-CR-25-23955. As such, the State respectfully requests the Court issue a warrant for Defendant’s arrest, as it appears to be unlikely that Defendant will appear for Court willingly.
