They certainly can extradite you. Since you are apparently a fugitive, get a lawyer and turn yourself in.

Two questions: (1) will tennessee extradite over a misdemeanor (answer- yes); (2) can you get a georgia driver's license (answer - I don't know). I suspect it will not work out for you either way. You now live in GA, which means you have 30 days to convert your driver's license into a GA driver's license. If you try to, and there is a warrant, you might be arrested. If you do not, you will get a citation for the failure to do so. When you appear in court on the citation, you will be arrested on the warrant, and probably extradited. If you fail to appear in court, then your driving privileges will be suspended. When you are next stopped driving on a suspended license you will be arrested and held in jail. Before you are released, they will verify that you have no warrants, which is when TN warrant will appear. While to wait to extradited take some GED classes and learn how to spell. Good luck.
