They check with the state in which you committed the offense to determine if that state will extradite you. If so, you will be held until the administrative and legal process takes place that will legally allow you to be transferred back. This process is known as extradition, and does not necessarily happen overnight due to the process that must take place.
The state holding a warrant expect an interstate extradition to occur. This practice is based on The Extradition of Fugitives Clause found in the Constitution.
Extradition is the process when a fugitive flees to another state and is apprehended then sent back to the original state in which they fled.
(in the US) Yes. If the fugitive's return is lawfully requested by another state they must be returned. There are no "safe-haven" states.
It is called Extradition. This can also be done between some countries, for instance, what happened between Canada and America not long ago.
ALL US States will extradite (it's actually called Rendition) a person that commits a serious crime in their state, and flees to another state. If a person commits a crime in another state and flees to Hawai'i, the state where the crime was committed will request Hawai'i to return (render) them- and they will. Same for crimes committed in Hawai'i. Extradition is actually when someone flees to another country. Hawai'i is part of the US, of course.
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.
Extradition
The US Constitution states that if a person flees from justice into another state the governor of the prosecuting state has the authority to ask for his return. This is the process of extradition.
The Compromise of 1850 was the plan in which California entered the US as a free state and the Fugitive Slave Law was passed. This compromise aimed to address the issue of slavery expansion between free and slave states. The Fugitive Slave Law required that escaped slaves be returned to their owners, even if they were in free states.
the governor of the original state formally/legally requests it.
All U.S. states must therefore extradite captured fugitives, the application might be inconsistent. Generally, if a state stumbles across a fugitive wanted in another jurisdiction (even different jurisdictions within a state), they will arrest the fugitive.
Article Four deals with relationship of states, full faith and credit clause, privileges and immunities clause and extradition
You can pursue legal action by hiring an attorney in the state where the person fled to. The attorney can help you understand the process for filing a lawsuit in that state's court system to recover the money owed to you. Additionally, you can explore options such as hiring a collections agency or pursuing a judgment through the court system.
