My question involves criminal law for the state of: California and Colorado
In 2004 I was arrested on a possesion of cocain charge. I had less than a gram. I was convicted for felony possesion and put on probation. To make a long story short I didn't go to the classes and I didnt follow up with probation. It wasnt until March of this year that my probation officer issued a warrant. I am now living in Colorado and have been for the past 4 months. I made a stupid impulsive decision at a Kohls and shoplifted a $50 bottle of cologne. The store called the police. When the police officer arrived she issued me a ticket for misdemeaner theft. After issuing the ticket she informed me that I had an outstanding warrant in California, however she could not take me in. I have a mandatory court appearance for the theft charge in a few weeks. Although the officer did not take me in, I am worred that when I appear in court they will detain me for possible extradition to California. Could that happen considering the officer did not detain me?
