Given the opportunity, the police tend to go WAY WAY over board. If she was "that" dangerous, a smart cop arrests her while she is giving tennis lessons in skimpy clothing with only a racket and a ball to "assault" them with...
My bet. She spends 2-3 weeks in a local jail being victimized by the natives. Seemingly Michigan has already agreed to extradite or Marshal's would not be involved. So, she is then flown (on ConAir) around the country for a week or more until she gets to some point in Michigan where she can again wait for transport for an unknown time to her final county destination.
THEN, after a few weeks/months she will have to retain council who will bring up a Statute of Limitations and the courts will decline prosecution.
So...she will be out weeks of her life. Be persecuted by people in The Villages for a situation we know nothing of. She will spend her life savings on legal fees (and transportation back to The Villages where she was respected and loved by her immediate neighbors).
Maybe, and grasping at straws...but, IF (big IF) the guy was not kidding about 25 years...this is a giant waste of tax dollars and a woman's life.
