Q: My boyfriend is currently facing charges in Indiana but a federal indictment out of Kansas. What happens from here.
The Indiana judge said for him to be released Friday but he didn’t get out. Will the feds come get him or will they wait for the case here to be resolved?
A: The US Marshall's Office has likely put a detainer on him to keep him from being released. They will come get him from his current location when they get around to it. They may wait until the current state case is resolved. They may not. The detainer will prevent him from bonding out in the meantime.
