A:
When your fiancé is released from county jail, it's possible that the other county with the pending DUI case may place a hold or warrant for his transfer. This usually depends on the severity of the case, court schedules, and coordination between the counties. If there's an active warrant, he could be picked up by law enforcement or ordered to appear in court for the DUI case.
Once he's released, it's important to check if there are any outstanding warrants or holds from the other county. Sometimes, the other county might not act immediately, but it’s better to be proactive. He may need to contact the court or his attorney to get clarity on how to handle that case while complying with his probation requirements.
Failing to address the DUI case could lead to complications with his probation, so it’s essential to take this seriously. By resolving both issues, he can move forward without additional legal trouble.
