Question on warrants and extradition

[tip_teller]

What is the name of your state? FL

There are 2 people here in FL that have outstanding warrants in CA, and AZ.

In CA they are all misdemeanor warrants. The first person has 4 warrants with the highest bond being $15,000 but all four total close to $30,000.

The second has 3 warrants this highest bond is $35,000 with all 3 the total is $55,000.

In AZ the first person has a warrant for probation violation with a bond of almost $4000. I believe a probation violation warrant is considered a felony warrant, is that correct?

Is it safe to assume that they skipped bond? I'm unsure how that process works. If so I'm sure someone would like these people in custody.

If law enforcement finds out about these warrants, what are the chances that these 2 will be extradited to CA and/or AZ?

If they aren't extradited does it mean they will be released from local custody?

Thanks for any info!

If the warrants are for felony charges, then they can be extradited.

I'm sure there are far more than that. Many of our potential three strikes candidates flee.

Wow, what an upstanding fellow!

Another upstanding iundividual.

Likely only if the original charge was a felony unless there are new charges.

Hard to say. They might have skipped bond, but it is also likely that they were released on their own recognizance and failed to show in court ... or, they violated probation by fleeing or not reporting in.

If law enforcement finds out about these warrants, what are the chances that these 2 will be extradited to CA and/or AZ?

Slim, but possible.

If they aren't extradited does it mean they will be released from local custody?

Unless facing new charges, yes they would be released.
