extradition law how long does oklahoma have to come and get a fugitive from missouri?

Answer 1

This is how it works in Oklahoma. When you get arrested in Oklahoma for an out of state warrant, you have the option to fight extradition to that state or you can waive your rights and go back willingly. If you sign that extradition papers to return to that state we give the other state 14 business days to come and get the individual. If they choose to fight the extradition, Oklahoma will charge the person as a fugitive from justice and set a bond on them. Many states won't allow a fugitive bond. If they can post bond the will be set free. There will be a hearing in 30 days to see if the other state has issued a governor's warrant. If there isn't a warrant yet, then another court date will be set 60 days later. By then they usually have the governor's warrant. If not the charges in Oklahoma will be dropped and that person will be set free, but there will still be the charges in the other state. After the governor's warrant has been issued the 14 days gets set aside in most cases and they can remain longer, but usually not.

Oklahoma Extradition Laws

Answer 3

And lastly....if the fugitive was caught in Missouri because he/she committed another crime there, then extradition may wait until Missouri prosecutes the fugitive in their state first. Oklahoma would wait in line. That could take months or even over a year.

Answer 4

If there is a warrant for your arrest and you are arrested in another state and you fight extradition, OK has 30 days to obtain a governor's warrant allowing them to come and get you.

Answer 5

Depends on the process and the period of time the states are supposed to implement.

Answer 6

What did you do. As long as the statute of limitation on the crime have not run out, they can come at anytime. Murder never runs out.
