fugitive warrant
Arrest fleeing suspect
A fugitive warrant is a legal order authorizing the arrest of someone who has fled from one jurisdiction to another to avoid prosecution or imprisonment.
When a person wanted in one state is found in another, the fugitive warrant allows local authorities to detain them pending extradition proceedings: Police served a fugitive warrant on the suspect in Arizona for charges filed in Texas.
