DWLS was created in 1955.
It depends on the charge. If it's murder or rape, they will figure out a way to hold him for as long as necessary. If it's DWLS, they'll probably not extradite him. The best thing to do is hire a lawyer to call the prosecutor, police, and court, and enter an Appearance, so that when Florida calls Michigan to ask what they want to do, Michigan will probably just tell them to "advise and release" him which means advise him of his warrant and let him go.
Probably not, unless you had a long list of other charges that included violent crimes.
What does INV Poss Cont Sub Heroin and FAT DWLS 3RD mean when someone got booked? My friend got arrested and I'm trying to help and figure it out.
Let's see: You were convicted of DUI and lost your license for 5 years. However - you were caught driving DUI again a year and a half before your revocation expired. So now - you have TWO DUI's and an 'Operating On Revocation' charge. I think that you are going to lose your driving privileges for a L-O-N-G time and MAY even get some jail time to reinforce the message.
It's your word against his. OF COURSE, you are expected to lie and say your load was secured. How about if he pulled you over for an inoperative tail-light? Would that make you feel better?
