Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
I have a misdemeanor warrant for violation of probation for testing positive for alcohol. Can I be extradited from Hillsborough county to Charlotte county - both in Florida if I have contacontact with law enforcement?
1 Answer from Attorneys
If you have violated probation and the county of jurisdiction issues a warrant, you can be arrested in the county you live in and held for extradition. The issue you have in getting arrested in a different county than you are currently on probation in is that that county could "hold" you until the warrant issuing county comes to get you to answer to the charge.
If you get pulled over while driving and the officer runs a warrants check, you will likely get taken in. If you'd like to talk further you can contact me at 727-771-3847.
