A: Generally, the arresting district will transport the person to the original FTA district to appear in court. The county can detain the person for up to 30 days before transporting them. If the warrant is from another state, the county won’t extradite her unless it’s a felony.
In some situations, you can get bonds with FTA warrants, but usually you can’t. It depends on the facts and circumstances of the case, criminal record, and whether they are on parole.
