If the police are not involved, I assume you are "under investigation" by your employer.

Under these circumstances, you are free to go wherever you want to go. However, if it looks like you are skipping town and trying to avoid being prosecuted, it could be used in a subsequent criminal trial to show you knew you were guilty.

If criminal charges are later filed an a warrant is issued for your arrest, you could be extradited, which means arrested and brought back to California.
