Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona
Extradition
If a person in violation of Arizona probation is arrested in Louisiana, and Arizona is notified of that person's arrest, fails to extradite, does that failure have any impact on the remainder of the probation?

Re: Extradition
From Louisiana's perspective, they've done what they were supposed to. Your problem is that if there is a probation hold from Arizona, and you are picked up again or even stopped, you run the risk of being arrested on that probation hold again and having to wait Arizona's decision to extradite or not. Seek advice from an Arizona attorney to discuss your rights under Arizona law.

A greater amount of research is needed in excess of this Reply, however
my initial position is that the period of probation is running while
Arizona refuses to extradite. So for example you have three years probation.
A probation violation occurs in year two and Arizona
does nothing once three years ends, probation is over. SINCERELY YOURS MARK LAZELL
Re: Extradition
Having done extensive extradition work, additional facts are needed to answer your question. What are the charges for which the defendant is on probation, was supervision in LA part of interstate compact or is this an absconder situation, etc. Please contact me directly for add'l info.
