Chances are very likely they will extradite you. With a trafficking charge, there are mandatory minimums and the state will want their pound of flesh. If you are out on bond now and there is an upcoming court date, I strongly advise you show. It's possible your attorney will be able to buy you time and work out a deal for you that avoids prison, but if you fail to show, then you will definitely be spending some time behind bars. If you have not gotten attorney yet, do so immediately.

You are looking at a mandatory-minimum prison sentence for drug trafficking in Florida.

As for the Florida bond conditions, that is between you and your bondsman. If they did not authorize your travel or they become you will skip out, they may come get you. Otherwise, as long as you appear when required, they will probably let you be.
