A: Whether Polk county will come to get him by March 11 on a misdemeanor is another issue.
A: He should receive credit from the time the hold is placed on your fiance. If he enters a plea to the charge in Polk county, he needs to bring the out-of-county credit to the attention of the court. The clerk will only advise the court of the credit for time served once he reaches Polk County. The lawyer will need to provide proof for the Miami credit.
