What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I have a close relative that has a 2 year old warrant in another city several hours away. He has been stopped many times by the local police but always released because the city that had the warrant was either or unreachable or stated they weren't coming to get him. Of course this last time he was stopped, the city said they wanted him held without bond. It is a felony forgery charge. The police officer said he would be held for 72 hours locally so the city could come get him. That was 2 days ago. I am wondering if there is a possibility he could be released after 72 hours because when I called the city, they said he had not been transferred yet. That officer said no, he could be held indefinitely. That sounds crazy to me.
Does anyone know how long he can be held ?
