Will Michigan extradite on a misdemeanor charge?
Only Michigan can answer that. Depends on LOTS of factors, and only the prosecutor knows for sure.
So are you saying that I can be arrested and put in jail here and if Michigan wants to come get me they will?is there a time frame?
If the case is severe enough, (and there are several factors that can give them that impression) and there a warrant issued with no geographic boundaries, yes. You can be detained on a warrant in any state in this country if that happened.
If a Florida law enforcement officer happens upon you, the warrant from Michigan shows up and law enforcement is required to get confirmation from Michigan about whether or not they'll extradite BEFORE the officers take arrest action against you. That process takes about 15 minutes and you'll just be standing around with the officers waiting for dispatch to send the request and get a response. If Michigan responds that they won't extradite from Florida, and the Florida officers have no charges of their own, you get cut loose. If Michigan DOES want to extradite, Florida officers will arrest you, transport you to the local county jail, and you'll sit there and wait until Michigan sends an officer to bring you back (at least a few days, but could be a couple of weeks, depending on Michigan's schedule and available resources).
