A wanted person can be extradited from another state on any valid arrest warrant. The decision on whether or not to extradite is usually based on cost and funds available. It's expensive to send two officers to a remote location to escort a prisoner home, so extradition is usually limited to serious charges such as felonies. Even so, there are courts and law enforcement agencies that will fund extraditions for charges such as DUI and domestic violence. The cost of the extradition, including the officers' salaries and travel expenses, can be assessed against the defendant at sentencing. In other Words, you can be made to pay for your own extradition.
