I have no idea where these answers are coming from, even Richard's, who is usually spot on. The controlling statute is Penal Code section 822. In many cases in which a person isarrested upon an out of county warrant for a misdemeanor, the person must be taken before a magistrate of the county in which he is arrested without unnecessary delay (which pretty much means within a day or two) for bail setting. In other cases, the warrant may already have a bail set (that does not appear to be the case in the question posed). In either case, if the person arrested is not released and does not post bail (and my conclusion from applicable statutes is that bail is mandatory in almost all situations in misdemeanor cases) then the law enforcement agency that issued the warrant (usually the Sheriff) must be notified immediately, and the person must be picked up within five days, and taken to a magistrate in the county where the warrant was issued.

30 days.
It's 90 days for an Out-of-State warrant.
In the real world, very rarely will you be held more than a week in another county - they don't like the expense.
