SALT LAKE CITY — Wyoming authorities say it will take longer than initially thought to bring in a Utah man accused in the death of a Utah Transit Authority worker.
Lincoln County Attorney Spencer Allred said in a statement Friday it will take a few weeks to extradite Dereck James "DJ" Harrison, 23, because Utah prison authorities are processing him.
Harrison was sentenced to at least 30 years in a Utah prison last week after pleading guilty to tying up a Clinton woman and her four daughters in a basement in Centerville.

Dereck James "DJ" Harrison was ordered to prison Oct. 24 for joining his father in kidnapping a woman and her four daughters.He has agreed to waive extradition to face murder charges that could carry the death penalty. Allred had hoped to move him to Wyoming within days of sentencing.
Prosecutors say Harrison and his father, Flint Harrison, snatched the UTA worker while on the run from police and killed him in Wyoming.
