You friend needs to hire a lawyer in NY to enter an appearance for him in NY and resolve that matter. If your friend is arrested in PA he could be taken into custody and transferd to NY to face the charges in that state. Therefore, i suggest that your friend deal witht he NY charges. He needs to turn himself in in NY so the police can get the process started to resolve this. A drving with a suspended license charge is a misdemeanor so he will be required to pay a fine and then pay a fee to reinstate his license. Do not let this warrant just sit out there.
