Yes. If the federal government intends to prosecute him, they can move him to where the US Marshal Service houses federal detainees. Then, the State generally needs to wait until the feds are finished before getting him back to finish his state case, but that is not always the case.

Q: When the Feds issue a warrant for a Felony arrest do they post it online in Oklahoma like most counties do?

My felony warrant was recalled. Prosecution filed a motion to recall pursuant McGirt v. Oklahoma. Since the Feds will be flooded with back cases as well as current cases, my guess is the most violent ones will take priority and not refile on all the rest. But if they somehow do decide to prosecute... View More

The idea of "pressing charges" isn't really the way it works. The DA is the only one who can file charges (press charges). They have complete discretion. The police and the DA may ask you if you want to testify (come to court), but that is really as far as it goes. Now if they... View More

Not until someone delivers an original or certified copy of your mother's death certificate to an officer of the bank. If your sister is not a beneficiary and is taking money out of any of your mother's accounts that contain payable on death clauses she is stealing; report her.
