Can one beheld with out extridition
Arresting state is alabama
Warrant is in Georgia
A: Georgia will hold the person until Alabama provides a governors warrant to Georgia. They have 60 days and can get an additional extension. The only issue to be decided is whether the person in custody is the person that Alabama is looking for. If the arrested person waives extradition it goes faster. The arrested person can also file for bond on the extradition warrant.
