  Extradition - Arizona Legal Process  

In Arizona, Extradition under A.R.S. §13-3855 and A.R.S. §13-3857 refers to the process of transporting an arrested individual from the State of Arizona to another State or County where the other jurisdiction has to pick you up within ninety (90) days or you will be released. Extradition between States is "Interstate" warrant and between Counties in Arizona is "Intrastate" warrant that issues a "Fugitive of Justice" warrant for an outstanding criminal charge.

You may challenge the extradition and make the prosecutor demonstrate probable cause that you should be charged in the first place. However, you can always "waive" extradition and allow yourself to be voluntarily transferred.

The prosecutor in an Interstate warrant would require the other jurisdiction to submit a "Governor's Warrant" with supporting documents and request Arizona's Governor to issue a "Warrant of Extradition" back to the original state. Once you receive this Warrant, you can then challenge the Warrant with an "Extradition Hearing."

You can challenge the extradition on "Identity" grounds as you are not the person the other State is seeking and fingerprints do not match, then your can be released.

Retaining an attorney can help in being able to contact the prosecutor who is holding you and work with a Prosecutor to negotiate a possible "self-surrender" with the local Judge and to have you released from custody so as to appear in Arizona allowing, time for you to make arrangements with work and family.
