He is next due to appear for sentencing in Rotorua District Court on October 25.
Rotorua police Senior Sergeant Karl Konlechner said Eriepa's arrest warrant was "only a matter of process" and she was not on police's wanted list.
"We'll just make an approach to her, it's really just an administrative function. She's not someone we're actively looking for."
"We know where she lives and I know that we've been in contact with her over other things this week."
Due to her circumstances, chasing up Eriepa over failing to complete a community work sentence was "not exactly a high priority" for Rotorua police, Mr Konlechner said.
"That's not an issue for us."
Eriepa praised the actions of tractor driver Bernie Trumper for helping to save her life and blamed drugs and paranoia for her partner's actions, during an interview with Herald on Sunday in July.
She was adamant that Waiti had no idea she was being dragged behind the car.
"Sonny isn't a bad person," Eriepa said.
"I wasn't scared of him hurting me. He just got caught up in the wrong things - the drugs and that - and got paranoid."
Eriepa said she jumped because she needed to get out to avoid being killed in a crash.
"I felt him swerving and I got scared of being squashed in the boot."
