Dear Edg747:

You should consult an attorney. While most of the time
states will not extradite on misdemeanor warrants/charges.
There is the possibility that if your are stopped on a
routine motor vehicle stop or you travel by airplane you
could be detained(NCIC national warrant system), possibly up
to several months until the DA's decide they won't extradite
you and the jurisdition holding you decides to cut you
loose.

Having said this, you really should consult a lawyer about
these warrants. Perhaps a good lawyer can workout a good
deal for you. This situation may affect your ability to
obtain a passport or a drivers license.

I definately would talk to a lawyer.
