Florida won't extradite man found locally with warrant issued in 1994

By Howard B. Owens

A Sheriff's deputy is in contact with a 57-year-old man who has an 18-year-old warrant for his arrest out of Florida.

Florida officials confirmed with the Sheriff's Office that the warrant is still valid.

The warrant is for an alleged failure to appear on a DWI charge.

While the warrant, issued in August 1994, is valid, Florida will not extradite on the charge.

The gentleman is aware of the situation, the deputy told dispatch.

"I guess he'll get a vacation when they come get him," the deputy said.
