Why Is My Inmate Being Sent to Another State for a Warrant?

The multi-state situation you are describing is confusing but follows a logical process once the pieces are laid out.

When your boyfriend was arrested in Alabama, his fingerprints were automatically run through the NCIC, the National Crime Information Center, which is a federal database that tracks outstanding warrants across all 50 states. That search flagged an active Florida matter, which was serious enough for Florida to request that he be held and transferred back to face it. The arrest in Alabama essentially triggered the Florida warrant that had been sitting in the system.

The probation transfer to Georgia is an important detail. Transferring supervision of probation from Florida to Georgia through the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision is a standard process that moves the day-to-day oversight closer to where the person is living. However, it does not eliminate Florida's jurisdiction over the original case. The sentencing judge in Florida still has authority over what happens when the probation is violated, and that is who he will ultimately face.
