Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Extradition from a foreign country back to FL

I was recently charged with a Felony and 2 misdemeanors. I have done the plea hearing and now waiting for the trial. Since all this has happened I have been offered a job with a foreign company which might require me to return the the states. Will I be held at customs or will Florida try to extradite me back to the states?

Re: Extradition from a foreign country back to FL

When you say plea hearing what do you mean? Did you plea Not Guilty and your case was set for trial?

If so, standard conditions of your bond state that you can not leave theState or Country without the bondsman and Court's permission.

If you leave and get caught, or never return, a warrant will be issued and you will have a hard time getting back into the states without being arrested.
