Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Court Date in Maryland Capias in Virginia

My question is simple. I have a domestic violence assault case that I have to attend in Harford County MD on Feb. 27th. Both me and my ex filed charges on each other. I was on Probation in VA and they found out about my charges, they issued a capias for my arrest. If I appear to court on the 27th in Maryland, will I be arrested on the spot due to the Capias in Virginia?

Not unless the warrant has been sent to Maryland with the intent of having you extradited to the Commonwealth.(Not too likely in my view for this type of charge.)
