Anyone know anything about extradition from Michigan to Florida?
Just got a call from my unreasonable sister. Her hubby apparently lost a job, still had some equipment that belonged to his boss, her hubby owned some of his own like equipment. Hubby tells her to go pawn his equipment and my sister grabs the wrong stuff pawning the former employers equipment. Simple mistake, so she claims. So now the law gets involved. Sister is freaking out because they have minor kids and suggests they will just move back home to Michigan because it's been so much crapola since they moved down there anyway. I know she won't really relocate back here because she loves it down there & has a good job and a nice place. My question is, if she really did come back home and hubby still had legal issues that were unresolved, would FL. extradite them from MI.? The whole transaction (monies received) was no more than a few hundred bucks.
I need accurate responses because I will be using them to talk sense into my sister to just resolve the issue and I have searched the internet but have not found an answer to this type of question.
EDIT-
The property could not be reclaimed from the pawn shop because the police already have it. The property was pawned 2 days prior to the police getting involved.

"a few hundred bucks" constitutes a FELONY, possibly grand theft. It really boils down to what charges (and I say charges because they also have the additional problem in they they fenced stolen property) as to if they would extradite or not. It's up to the DA....
What they need to do is not run from the situation, but rather face it. If it was a simple mistake, then with testimony that can be proven in court - and if all the items were recovered from the pawn shop, then if could just come down to being a misdemeanor conviction and a fine. If it is a first offense, who knows, the judge could be lenient on it.
They need to hire a criminal defense attorney to help them deal with this. If they run, or try to handle it on their own - it could get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

Article 4, Section 2, Paragraph 2 of the US constitution REQUIRES extradition if the state you FLEE request it. If this was a 'simple mistake' it would have already been resolved by reclaiming the items from the pawn shop. The fact she is even THINKING of any other option is proof this was DELIBERATE theft.
