Question is not clear. If you are asking if YOU can be arrested if YOU have a felony warrant against you in another state, the answer is - yes. However, if you are a L.E.O. and are asking if you can arrest someone in another state whom you know has an outstanding felony warrant against them in your state, then the answer would depend. Under what authority are you exercising your power of arrest? (i.e. - Are you serving an extradition order - or what?) If you are in an off-duty capacity and you just happen to see someone you KNOW is wanted in your state, then your ability to arrest is limited by your lack of jurisdiction. You may have to attempt a "citizen's arrest."

∙ 14y agoIf it is a felony warrant, the odds are very good that it is entered into the state (and probably the inter-state) criminal computer system. Since virtuallly all traffic stops involve running the persons name into the computer for a check, the odds are practically 100% that if you are stopped for a traffic violation you will be arrested.

If you got stopped by the police and they ran your name for warrant's and one from ten yrs ago showed from another county and the county refused to come get me why is that and what does that mean?
It means that you have an unanswered violation in that county that you never took care of. In this instance they simply declined to send someone to another county to pick you up, but it does not necessarily mean the the warrant has "gone away." If you were ever stopped in the county holding the warrant, in all likliehood you would be immediately arrested. Your best course of action would be to look into this and get it taken care of.

Will Kentucky come and get you from another state if you have a felony drug warrant?
If they discover where you are, they will have you arrested in that state. Then you will be transported to Kentucky where you will be incarcerated. If you are arrested in the state you are in, your name will be in the system and the county in Kentucky where you have the warrant will be contacted.
Can you be arrested on an outstanding warrant that says do not extradite?
You can ALWAYS be arrested for an ARREST warrant regardless of issuing agency or the arresting agency.Additional: There is widespread mis-understanding of the term "extradite." Extradition refers only to removing a person from one STATE to another STATE.If you are wanted on a warrant and are arrested in the same state the warrant was issued in, no extradition is involved - only a county-to-county transfer.

How long can a jail hold you on a warrant from another county?
Although they can't hold you forever, if you are being held in 'County A' because of an active Warrant in 'County B' AND you are in the same state, there is no maximum hold time set by statute. A warrant from one county within the same state for a violation of a state criminal law holds the same weight, regardless of which county the individual was arrested in.

Can you bail out of jail in 1 county if there holden you for another county?
When a person is being held in a county jail on warrant from another county, then a bail bond cannot be posted until that person has been transported to the county which issued the warrant.
Does a person being arrested on a warrant from another county within the same statehave to be booked into the arresting counties jail prior to being extradited?
Not necessarily. If the county holding the warrant could respond quickly, the jail having the prisoner in custody might just keep them in a waiting area until the officers from the other county arrived. When the prisoner was taken back to the county with the warrant, this would not be a "extradition." Extradition occurs only between states.
Can you post bond in one county for a warrant in another county?
No. You must surrender yourself to the state in which the warrant was issued.
How far will one county come to get someone with a warrant?
Depends on what the warrant's for. If they want to get a hold of you, and they find out you're located in another county, they simply ask the County Sheriff's Office in that county to pick you up.
Can a judge for one county issue a search warrant for another county?
Yes a judge from one county can issue a search warrant for you in another county. Another view: Use caution with the first answer. If the two counties are within the same Judicial District - THEN a judge from one county can issue a warrant to be served in the other county. HOWEVER - if the counties and the judges are not part of the same judicial district they cannot issue valid warrants, cross-jurisdictionally, in the other county.
