As long as it is not a domestic violence assault you should be able to get one but keep in mind if Iowas anything like Nebraska and you have to apply for a purchase certificate thru the sherriffs department , the sherriffs seem to think that it is at their discretion which in fact is not th case , trust me I know I had to fight it out in Sarpy county one time but in the end I got mine .

Will they extradite from Washington to Iowa fo misdemeanor warrants?

Iowa does not extradite for misdemeanor warrants as a general rule of thumb UNLESS the Judge Orders it. If you google "Iowa Courts" you will be able to find the Iowa Courts Website and find out whether or not your charge is extraditable. They have their records online and you can search your names. Under the "Disposition" or "Bonds" it will say "Extradition" and if it says "Y" they are looking to extradite you and if there is a "N" then they aren't seeking it. Most states don't bother to extradite misdemeanors, so don't listen to blow holes who tell you to freak out over a simple charge. Felonies are different, almost all states extradite.
