help with warrant info


What is the name of your state? I was ticketed in Wyoming

I was wondering if I have a warrant out for failure to appear in court after being ticketed with my third Minor in Possesion of Alcohol ( A Misdemeanor) in the state of WY, will that warrant be valid in the entire country or just in the state of WY. I live in CO and go to school in KS so I need to know if I get pulled over will I be arrested in those two states??? Please reply I am desperate!!

In general, it is extremely rare for a misdemeanor warrant to be valid outside of the state where it was issued. The expense of extradition is simply too high. Call the Courts where you believe it weas issued and ask them. The worst they can do is say they can't tell you over the phone. Even most felony warrants don't have out-of-state extraditioon, only the more serious ones.
