Yes, it is possible. In this day and age of budget crunches, it may seem unlikely - BUT - where the law is concerned, never say "never!" All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - It is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned.

Yes, but it is unlikely unless the misdemeanor is designated as 'high class' and/0r involves personal injury and/or property damage to a citizen or is connected to law enforcement personnel in some manner.

Depends on the charge. Most states wont extradite for unpaid fines or failure to appear. Too expensive

Added: As a practical matter - the first answer is probably correct. But the true answer is - yes, it is legally permissable for a state to extradite on a misdemeanor charge if they wish to go to the trouble and expense. All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - it is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend on the offense and the seriousness of it and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses.

Any state can extradite you on ANY CRIMINAL CHARGE they want. The question is, will they choose to do so or not.... and that is an un-answerable question.
