§ 12-41-208. Extradition and transfer.
Arkansas agrees that a person who is in the justice center in the custody of a peace officer or center personnel under the law of the other state may be: Prosecuted for an offense against the law of the other state without extradition of that person; and Personally served with process in any part of the center for a proceeding in the other state. Center personnel or a peace officer of either state may transfer across the state line in the center a person in custody in the center under the law of either state and may exercise control over that person on both sides of the state line in the center. A person in the center who has not been confined in the center, taken to the center under arrest or summoned to appear in the center, may be arrested in any part of the center for an offense against the law of either state without extradition of that person. Extradition of a person who was arrested in the center under those circumstances is not required in order to prosecute the person for an offense against the law of either state if the person is physically present in any part of the center or the state of the prosecution at the time of the prosecution. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the Governor of this state may recognize a demand for the extradition of a person charged with a crime in the other state if the demand alleges that any element of the offense occurred in any part of the center.
