Best Answer

You won't be arrested for warrants held in another state if the agency that has the arrest warrant is unwilling to come and get you. That process is called "extradition." Because of the expense involved in sending officers to other states to retrieve fugitives, the process is generally reserved for only the most serious offenses. Even though you might avoid being arrested for a warrant held in another state, you will also find the existence of that warrant may make it difficult for you to get a driver's license or even secure employment.
