Charging someone in custody but out of jurisdiction (NC)

If someone is arrested in city A under an Officers jurisdictional boundaries and the suspect is transported to the jail outside of jurisdictional boundaries but commits a crime such as assault, more drugs are found at the jail etc. Can the Officer of city A still charge the suspect for crimes committed while in custody even though the new crime occurred outside of jurisdictional boundaries?
