If you have not committed a crime in the state you live in, then no you can't be charged twice of the same offense. That would be double jepordy, and is against the law. Your home state CAN hold you until the state you committed the crime in either extradites you or drops the charges
Added: The above answer seems unclear.
If you committed a crime in state "A" and then committed the same crime in state "B" then BOTH states can charge you seperately, because you committed a separate crime in each state.
If you committed a crime only in state "A" but then fled to state "B," state "B" cannot try you for a crime you committed in another state. HOWEVER they can hold you in jail until state "A" comes for you to return you to state "A" for prosecution .

∙ 12y agoIf you committed the same offense in two different states, yes, you can be charged in both states since they are separate offenses against those state's laws. (e.g.: You robbed a gas station in state 'A' and then robbed a gas station in state 'B', you can be charged in both states for Armed Robbery.)

No. If you committed that crime in one county and were arrested, tried, and convicted of THAT crime - it does NOT protect you from being charged and tried for an identical, but seperate, crime you committed in another location. If you committed TWO identical offenses, the fact that you were convicted of one in one county, does not protect you from the consequences of the crime you committed in another county.
