Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arkansas

Can law enforcement extridite from TX on a misdemeanor charge in Arkansas?

A friend has a traffic ticket in Arkansas. He wasnt notified by the courts personally of his court date. He moved to another city in Arkansas and has since found out thru friends in the city where the ticket was issued that the officer in charge keeps setting dates for his appearance w/out notifying him. Due to this, he has several Failure to Appear charges on this one traffic ticket (misdemeanor). He is now going to move out of state for a job offer but wonders if law enforcement can extridite over state lines on this misd. charge.

You are spending a lot of your time asking questions for this jerk that doesn't take care of his own business.

Nobody spends money extraditing a traffic offender. However, he will have to spend the rest of his life out of the state of Arkansas.

And once the states start exchanging information on traffic offenders he may find that the state of his residence will deny him a driver's license. He needs to take care of the matter but he'll keep bother you to do it for him.

In the end you're wasting my time because he isn't going to take care of the matter.
