Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

My question is, My ex had been locked in a state penitentiary for 5 years in Va. Upon his release we had moved to NC and started a life. He had a probation officer in NC and was suppose to be paying fines in VA. He had recently been going back and forth to court from Va with owing fines and in NC for driving without his lisence. He recently went to court in Va and had his probation switched from NC to VA because he was moving back home. The paper work was done and he now has a Probation Officer in Va but not NC. When he went back to NC to collect the rest of his things he got pulled over and apparently Stafford, Va and Manassas, Va were not clear with one another about him having switched probation, stafford had a capius out for his arrest for not coming to a court date that he never knew he had because Manassas or Stafford failed to send the paper work to the proper adress. Now he is in jail in NC and Stafford Va is saying they wont expadite him until he finishes going to court in NC which wont be for another 6 or 7 months before he finishes that. Nc is saying that they are not holding him on any chargers so why can't we bail him out and how can stafford make him sit in there while NC is saying that they don't want to be holding him? Please make sense of all this or let me know if there is something I can do to help. Thank you

It would seem advisable based upon the facts described for your ex to secure the services of a competent North Carolina criminal defense counsel to see if s/he might be able to assist in disentangling him from this legal imbroglio involving the two sister jurisdictions.
