There was a warrant issued from the county where the crime allegedly occurred. That warrant goes on the computer. When pulled over in a county where the alleged charge did not happen, they found the warrant in the computer, then transfered the defendant to the county of the alleged charge.

Re: being in custudy

Criminal charges are brought in the County where the crime is alleged to have occurred. It is likely that there was a warrant out for your arrest and when you got pulled over in one county, they saw the warrant and held you until you could be transferred.

It is always a good idea to talk directly to an attorney for any criminal matters. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me directly.

Good Luck
