Since the crimes occurred in Pennsylvania and are violations of Pennsylvania law they have to be heard where the crimes occurred.

If you have no way of returning to on your own the Commonwealth will provide transportation. Unfortunately you'll be returning as a prisoner.

On the plus side they haven't added interstate flight to your charges.
