    Default New Out-Of-State Arrest Warrant

    I am currently in NY on an internship when I receive an e-mail telling me that there is an arrest warrant for me in TX for POM <2oz ($750.00 bond). I was aware that during my spring college semester my roommate had marijuana in his closet when the police searched the room. I was in the room as well. Later, he received mail telling him about the charges he was charged with for POM. He payed and did all that his charged sentence gave him. Then with this arrest warrant I found yesterday, it has left me clueless that there was such an open case against me. I had received nothing telling me about if I were to be charged too as my roommate did.

    So my plan of action now is to get an attorney and see what can be done about this.

    With me being in NY I doubt they will extradite unless I get pulled over or so with still probably wouldn't happen being so far away on such minor a demeanor.
    So my question here is asking what ways can I go about handling this situation.

    Consulting a lawyer is a good idea.

    I would be extremely surprised if extradition were initiated over this charge, but you have to be careful about driver's license sanctions, as driver's license suspensions are an increasingly common consequence of marijuana possession.
