Yes, they certainly can, and it's not a threat! Have you ever heard of the charge of Obstructing Justice, or Harboring a Fugitive, or being an Accessory to a crime?

Is a warrant the same as a charge?

Will North Carolina extradite to California on warrant issued because you lied to HUD about your income when you lived in their HUD housing?
Forget about why the warrant was issued: whenever a warrant is issued for someone's arrest it remains as such until the charges are answered (i.e., the warrant is served). That warrant is entered into the National Criminal Information Computer, or NCIC. If law-enforcement sees that warrant it will make an arrest and hold the person in jail. Next there is the issue of whether the issuing state is willing to extradite. The arresting state doesn't do the extradition, the issuing state does. So if that state wants the fugitive it will arrange to pick the fugitive up, if the charges are serious enough. If the state is not willing to extradite then the fugitive is freed-- for now: at any time the warrant is in effect and has not been served, the fugitive will continue to be arrested until eventually he is brought to justice.
