I heard that Ohio does not extradite for felony warrents outside of neighboring states.... is this true?

Question

I find this insane....... I have never heard of this however I am not sure this is a good thing. Does anyone know? I always thought that no matter where you ran the courts could come get you if there was a warrent.

I guess i should clarify this a bit more.... I was meaning I heard that if you leave ohio and say go to california and ohio issues a felony warrent for you.... I heard they will not go after you unless you are in a neighboring state........ somewhere i read that a guy in california had a felony domestic charge and fled to california and there was a warrent issued by ohio for him adn they could not do anything becuase he was too far away..... this seemed ridculous to me.

LOL Thanks Dr Bucks.... However I personally do not have a record I just read this somewhere and thought it was insane so i was curious

Yes Steven... I meant if you had a charge(felony) and you left ohio say moved to texas, would ohio come after you if there was a warrent and bring you back to ohio to face charges... However according to what you said I am understanding that is really doesnt matter because if you went to texas and was stopped,,,, texas could send you back according to the consistution right? Or does Ohio have to request that? This is all soo insane to me i am just glad i am not fleeing from anything LOL

Steven..... According to what i heard california did notify ohio about this man and they were told that ohio would not extradite from that far..... he would of had to been in a neighboring state. this is what has me confused....... I would think a felony domestic could be potentailly dangerous and Ohio would want him back but the way i heard it Ohio can NOT extradite for anything unless a captial crime of course unless the person is found in a neighboring state to ohio.

Answer 1

if it's for a felony i 100% promise you that they will come after you

Answer 2

Do you mean they won't seek extradition TO Ohio except from neighboring states, or that they won't allow extradition FROM Ohio except to neighboring states. If you mean the former, they may not believe its worth the trouble to pursue someone that is not likely to pose a threat to the citizens of Ohio. If you mean the latter, they don't have the option Article 4, Section 2 of the US constitution states: A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State form which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime. There is no provision for denying extradition within the US.

EDIT: I just read your Additional Information. California can't enforce an Ohio warrant if Ohio is not interested. Ohio can still request extradition if they want. My guess is California didn't bother to inform Ohio that the person had been located, thereby denying Ohio the chance to request extradition.

Answer 3

My Ohio Police Agency regularly extradites wanted persons from all over the Country. The level of extradition is set by the Judge signing off on the warrant and it is based on how serious the charges are. The levels range from County of warrant only, neighboring Counties, Statewide, or Nationwide.

Answer 4

no that is not true. There is only a hand full of states that wont extradite. If you got a federal warrant they can extradite you from anywhere.

Answer 5
