Murder suspect George West Craigen is in the Umatilla County Jail in Pendleton after a Washington judge OK’d his extradition on Thursday.

Craigen, 49, was scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Hermiston before Circuit Court Judge Dan Hill.

The DAs office has accused Craigen, 49, of Milton-Freewater, of fatally shooting Cecil Rob Carter the morning of Dec. 30, 2011, at his plumbing business just outside Milton-Freewater.

A least 60 officers from agencies in Oregon and Washington conducted a two-day manhunt for Craigen before arresting him Jan. 2 at a convenience store in Walla Walla, Wash.

A Umatilla County Grand Jury indicted Craigen Jan. 17 on nine felony counts: murder with a firearm, felon in possession of a firearm, unlawful use of a weapon, five counts of possession of a bomb or explosive and removing or changing the identification number on a handgun.

The grand jury also indicted Craigen on three misdemeanor counts of recklessly endangering another person.

Craigen fought extradition, but a judge  in Walla Walla ordered him into the custody of Oregon authorities.
