If from the examination before the judge or magistrate it appears that the person held is the person charged with having committed the crime alleged and that he or she probably committed the crime, and, except in cases arising under 16-94-206, that he or she has fled from justice, the judge or magistrate must commit him or her to jail by a warrant reciting the accusation for such a time specified in the warrant as will enable the arrest of the accused to be made under a warrant of the Governor on a requisition of the executive authority of the state having jurisdiction of the offense, unless the accused gives bail as provided in the next section, or until he or she shall be legally discharged.
