§  120.40  Warrant of arrest; attaching accusatory instrument to warrant

           of town court, village court or city court.

A town court, village court or city court which issues  a  warrant  of
  arrest  may attach thereto a duplicate copy of the underlying accusatory
  instrument.  If one or more duplicate copies of the warrant are  issued,
  such  court  may  attach as many copies of such accusatory instrument to
  copies of such warrant as it chooses.  In any case  where,  pursuant  to
  subdivision  five  of  section  120.90, a defendant arrested upon such a
  warrant of arrest is brought before a local criminal  court  other  than
  the  town  court,  village  court  or city court in which the warrant is
  returnable, a copy of the  accusatory  instrument  constitutes  a  valid
  basis for arraignment, as provided in subdivision one of section 170.15.
