How long will Missouri hold you in jail awaiting extradition on a misdemeanor warrant?
If the state that wants you has confirmed to OH that they WILL extradite then you can be held as long as the law allows and a judge permits. If you waive extradition it will probably go fairly quickly. If you fight extradition, you can challenge your jailing by questioning the authoority of the Governor's Warrant. You may also file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus with the court. It may or may not do any good.

Additional information:
Extradition treaties exist to speed up extradition by having the ground rules already agreed upon and the infrastructure and logistics to support prisoner transfers and transport between countries.
That means in a country with an extradition treaty a person can be retrieved from that country in a timely manner at the request of government officials.
This has led to the mistaken belief that you can not be extradited from countries that do not have extradition treaties already in place. This could not be further from the truth. The reality is that the US can request extradition through diplomatic contacts from any country even if no treaty already exists.
Whether or not that country bothers to comply with the request is an entirely case by case basis. However many countries without extradition treaties are more than happy to comply with a request if the circumstances are favorable for them to gain some favor, money or sometimes just good press.
Another risk of being in a non extradition country is that upon receiving a request to extradite you, without a treaty to follow, they may simply lock you up in local prisons for years while they investigate the claim. This can cause years of additional incarceration (whether or not you are guilty) in addition to any sentence that may be given upon return to the US.
A country without an extradition treaty in place simply means you are at the mercy of that country and its decisions rather than there being laws already in place to deal with the extradition request. It does not mean you wont be extradited, it just means you may spend years dealing with them while they figure out if they will extradite you, or not.

Will Pennsylvania extradite you on a DUI warrant when you are living in California?
All states extradite to and from all other states. In each case, the jurisdiction holding the warrant must determine whether the cost to transport the defendant back is worth the underlying charge. Most jurisdictions have a policy for how far they will go for different types of charges. Generally, jurisdictions will go to any state for the most serious crimes, and they generally won't go far for minor misdemeanors.

i was extradited from sc to fl
The question is unclear. Let me illustrate what I think you are asking: You commit a crime in state "A" and then flee to state "B" - and while you're there you commit a crime in state "B." If the police in state "B" catch you and charge you - AND THEN - they find out that state "A" also wants you back - state "B" may refuse to release you (EVEN IF state "A" wants to extradite you) - because state "B" wants to send you to trial first, before state "A" gets a shot at you.

Does Arizona extradite from Texas?
Yes, depending upon the charge and if certain legal standards are met. For Arizona and Texas and the other 48 states within the United States of America tend to respect, and cooperate with, each other on extradition requests. Such requests tend to be made over the serious, felony charges and regarding the more heinous crimes.

For involvement of another country always demands the role of the federal government as decisionmaker.
