He should remain silent and not talk to any one. If questioned by the police he should invoke his right to remain silent. There is nothing he can do now to get himself unarrested but he can make sure nothing is given to the police that makes it easier for them to prove their case. He should retain counsel immediately who can start working on the case while the extradition is pending. If you need any further advice or have further questions you can contact me at any time. 305.670.3119
