As used in this subsection, "magistrate" has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 169.095.

If there is a charge pending against or a warrant outstanding for a misdemeanor offense for the prisoner in the county in which the prisoner is in custody, the sheriff, chief of police or town marshal shall notify the law enforcement agency when the matter is resolved. The law enforcement agency shall take custody of the prisoner within 72 hours after receiving notice that the matter is resolved. This subsection does not apply if the law enforcement agency that obtained the warrant is in the same jurisdiction as the jail in which the prisoner is in custody.
3. If, after notice is given pursuant to the provisions of subsection 1 or notice that the matter is resolved is given pursuant to subsection 2, the law enforcement agency sends a certified letter to the sheriff, chief of police or town marshal stating that it will take custody of the prisoner, and the letter is received within 72 hours after giving such notice, the law enforcement agency shall take custody of the prisoner not more than 7 days after the sheriff, chief of police or town marshal receives the letter. The law enforcement agency shall pay the actual costs of the prisoner’s confinement, including the direct cost of his or her support and an allocated share of the cost of maintaining the jail and guarding the prisoners therein. The board of county commissioners of the county or the governing body of the city or town shall determine these costs and, excluding the initial 72-hour period, charge the law enforcement agency for each day of confinement after the sheriff, chief of police or town marshal receives the certified letter, including the day the law enforcement agency takes custody of the prisoner.
4. If the law enforcement agency fails to take custody of the prisoner within the time required by this section, the sheriff, chief of police or town marshal may, if there are no other criminal charges pending or warrants outstanding for the prisoner, release the prisoner from custody.
