- Check the area code. Pensacola-area numbers use 850. Brewton and Atmore use 251.
- Watch the state line. Century, Florida and Flomaton, Alabama are neighbors a few miles apart, so an arrest “near Century” could be in either state.
- Ask who made the arrest. An Alabama sheriff’s deputy or Atmore or Brewton police means Alabama. Pensacola Police or the Escambia County (FL) Sheriff’s Office means Florida.
Arrested in Alabama but living in Florida (or the reverse)
The case is handled where the arrest happened. Someone from Pensacola arrested in Atmore goes to the Alabama jail and Alabama court, and bond is posted there. If a person has warrants in both states, one state may place a hold, and extradition rules apply. Holds explained · Out-of-county and out-of-state warrants
