Doubtful. A misdeamor only carries up to a year in jail. I doubt anyone would spend the resources that it would take to bring the defendant back to the US. Many times the state attorneys office will decline extradition even if the case is in the US because it is cost prohibitive. The defendant may surrender themselves in the original county however and clear the warrant.

Can Montana extradite someone back from Washington on a misdemeanor?

Yes they can very well extradite someone from back from Washington on misdemeanor. Additional Info: All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - it is impossible to say whether a particular state will choose to extradite you or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend on the offense and the seriousness of it and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses.

Can fl extradite someone in Colorado -for the charge of knowley giving false name to law enforcement?

Generally states will only extradite someone on serious offenses. I would suggest staying in Colorado and not getting closer to Florida as then you will be detained until they decide if they want to pick you up or not. False Name to Police is generally a misdemeanor and the states don't have money to extradite someone over a crime that carries less than a year in jail.


If you have a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge from Wyoming will California be likely to extradite you on that charge?

In general, No. On a misdemeanor charge extradition over a long distance is generally not going to happen. The State or jurisdiction that has the charge must pay for someone to come pick you up if you are arrested in another State. This is expensive and most jurisdictions will not want to pay this cost so they don't extradite over long distances.
