California has a very limited time in which to pick him up IF he has waived extradition. If he is fighting extradition, then then California will have to jump through hoops to prove they have the right to come get him. He will remain in custody until the process is completed.

Sadly, you can't know the answer for sure until your case is either won or lost or ends in an acceptable plea bargain. Since second and subsequent convictions carry jail time (including a minimum period of incarceration) many people think it's worth fighting. But why not consult with an experienced OWI lawyer and see what she or he says about your possible defenses?

You should hire an attorney to handle the out-of-state ticket immediately. It's possible that your probation officer won't find out about the out-of-state ticket if you get it reduced to a lesser offense. But if you just plead guilty to the out-of-state ticket, the conviction of "Drunk in Public" will be reported on your criminal record and your probation officer will see it. It's up to you, but in general it's always best to tell your probation officer about violations before they find out about it on their own.
