Yes, that's exactly what it is. If you have a warrant out for your arrest, you are a "fugitive from justice."

Will a out of state warrant show up when applying for a job and what could happen if it does?

This will depend on the background check that is performed by your employer. And if your employer does find out that there is an outstanding warrant then he can call the police and have you picked up. In many states if he does not do this, he could be charged with hindering justice or with harboring a fugitive.

What is a fugitive from justice without a warrant charge?

This is not stating the type of charge he/she has, this just means that the person was detained and arrested because there is an active warrant out for the person outside of the state that they were arrested in. Here is an example of your question. A man owes child support in Michigan, failed to make payments, and now there is a warrant out for him. He no longer lives in Michigan and moved to Tennessee. He got pulled over for speeding in Tennessee and the police officer checked to see if there were any warrants, and there was a warrant issued from Michigan for failure to pay child support. So, the Tennessee Officer arrested him, and the reason for his arrest was "fugitive from justice without a warrant."


Will North Carolina extradite to California on warrant issued because you lied to HUD about your income when you lived in their HUD housing?

Forget about why the warrant was issued: whenever a warrant is issued for someone's arrest it remains as such until the charges are answered (i.e., the warrant is served). That warrant is entered into the National Criminal Information Computer, or NCIC. If law-enforcement sees that warrant it will make an arrest and hold the person in jail. Next there is the issue of whether the issuing state is willing to extradite. The arresting state doesn't do the extradition, the issuing state does. So if that state wants the fugitive it will arrange to pick the fugitive up, if the charges are serious enough. If the state is not willing to extradite then the fugitive is freed-- for now: at any time the warrant is in effect and has not been served, the fugitive will continue to be arrested until eventually he is brought to justice.


Is Fugitive from justice a felony?

Fugitive from justice is not a felony itself, but rather a status of someone who has fled from the jurisdiction where they are facing criminal charges or have been convicted of a crime. The underlying criminal offense that led to the fugitive status may be a felony or a misdemeanor, depending on the circumstances.
