probation and parole officer shall, upon information sufficient to
give the officer reasonable grounds to believe that the parolee has
violated the terms of and conditions of parole, notify the

justify revocation action, the Department shall issue a warrant for
the arrest of the parolee and the warrant shall have the force and
effect of any warrant of arrest issued by a district court in this
state. The parolee shall, after arrest, be immediately incarcerated
in the nearest county jail, intermediate sanctions facility, or a
Department of Corrections facility to await action by the Governor
or the Pardon and Parole Board as to whether the parole will be
revoked. Parole time shall cease to run after the issuance of a
warrant for arrest by the Department of Corrections, and earned
credits shall not be accrued during any period of time when the
parolee is incarcerated pending revocation action by the Governor or
the Pardon and Parole Board. Pursuant to the provisions of this
subsection:

parole granted by the Governor and file the certificate of
