There are a couple different possibilities. Surely when you arrive you will definitely be detained. If you arrive in a port other than Florida, then you may or may not be extradited. However, it is likely they will just refuse your entrance if it is outside of Florida (after a long detention). If these charges are misdemeanors, then it is possible to take care of it with an attorney BEFORE you return. They may be able to resolve these and get the warrants removed without you having to risk a detention. This is your best option. You don't say where in Florida the warrants are located, but you will need to talk to an attorney for each location to take care of it, unless they are relatively close to each other. My advice: call an attorney in Florida right away.
