Re: out of county bench warrant

Two factors are necessary to answer this question: nothing else is holding you except that bench warrant; and the 'different county' is also in pennsylvania. If both of these factors are present, the non-holding county has 30 days to pick you up from the holding county or else the holding county must release you.

If you have any other questions or my answer is unclear in anyway feel free to email or call. Good Luck.
