Common Questions For Out-Of-State Criminal Charges

Below are some of the most common questions that we receive regarding criminal charges in Idaho when you are not an Idaho resident. If you have additional questions, you are welcome to call our office and speak with a member of our team.

Can I be arrested for a crime while I am out of Idaho?

Yes, even if you have left the state, you can still be arrested for a crime that you allegedly committed. In most cases, it depends on what you have been charged with. The state will typically issue an interstate warrant for your arrest if you have committed a felony offense, in which case you can be picked up by local police and remanded back to Idaho for processing. However, misdemeanor offenses are rarely handled this way and typically do not result in interstate warrants being issued.

Do I have to come back to Idaho for my case?

In some cases, you will need to return to Idaho to be physically present for your case, but in others, you can let your attorney handle your appearance. If you only have a misdemeanor charge, you can hire an attorney and seek permission from the presiding judge of your case to allow them to handle your case while you are not present. However, this is at the discretion of the judge, and if your case includes any felony charges, then you will be required to attend in person for your case.

I was charged with a DUI in Idaho; will it affect me in my home state?

Yes, even if you are not an Idaho resident, you can still face consequences for a DUI in Idaho. If it is a felony DUI, you can be returned to Idaho to face prosecution and punishment, including jail time and fines. Additionally, many states have reciprocity agreements regarding license suspensions for DUIs, so you will most likely also lose your license if you are convicted of your DUI.
