Nice try, no brass ring. The case and warrant remains active, regardless of their failure to pay to 'extradite' you. Hire a local attorney to deal with the warrant and case and get it behind you.

The failure of the county to bring you to court is not determinative. I've litigated a few of these. However, it helps if there otherwise have been delays caused by a deprivation of your Sixth Amendment Right to a Speedy Trial.
