Well, you are in a jam for sure. Either way you will held to satisfy the other warrant. An attorney may be able to negotiate with both jurisdictions to avoid jail time. You must hire a lawyer immediately before you get picked up. If you are arrested you will not get bail.
if the charges against you are only misdemeanors, they would probably not come up in another state. If one is a felony and the other is a misdemeanor, take care of the felony first.
Assuming no prior arrests, I can probably get you a dispositon on the NY marijuana case that will result in its dismissal. I am a former federal and State prosecutor and now handle criminal defense cases. I have handled many cases like yours and practice regularly in Brooklyn's criminal court. Feel free to check out my web site and contact me. The California case is totally irrelevent to the marijuana case.
