Before the warrant is issued, the designated agent shall file, with a judicial officer of this state having authority under the laws of this state to issue warrants for the arrest of persons charged with crime, the following documents: (a) An affidavit stating the name and whereabouts of the person whose removal is sought, the crime with which the person was charged, the time and place of the crime charged, and the status of the proceedings against him.

(c) A certified copy of an order of the demanding court, judge or magistrate stating the manner in which the terms and the conditions of the release have been violated and designating the affiant its agent for seeking removal of the person.
