It depends on the state. As a general rule, if the crime involved is of a less serious nature then a state simply won't want to pay for the cost of returning the person, as well as tie-up manpower in doing so. Your best bet at this point is to consult with a criminal law attorney who practices in the area in which the warrant for your arrst was issued; they can best advise as to all of this.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
