The probation and parole officer shall, upon information sufficient to give him reasonable grounds to believe that the parolee has violated the terms of and conditions of his parole, notify the Department. If it is determined that the facts justify such action, the Department shall issue a warrant for the arrest of any such parolee and any such warrant shall have the force and effect of any warrant of arrest issued by a district court in this state. Any such parolee shall, after arrest, be immediately incarcerated in the nearest county jail or Department of Corrections facility to await action of the Governor as to revocation of his parole. Parole time shall cease to run after the issuance of a warrant for arrest by the Department of Corrections, and earned credits shall not be accrued during the period of time that the parolee is incarcerated pending action by the Governor.
