If you are arrested for being a fugitive, it means you ran from the law. This can happen if you are on parole or probation and fail to report when you are supposed to. It can also happen if the police are looking for you and you knowingly flee from them.

I believe the person will have to stand trial in both states. Because the fugitive was arrested for another crime in a different state, that state may elect to keep them in custody until he/she is convicted. However, at some point in time, he/she will also be brought back to the state of his original crime to face charges there.
