I have searched for two weeks and cannot find an answer. I kindly ask for any help.
I have written a character that committed a hit and run crime in Los Angeles resulting in death. The character has fleed to San Francisco obviously still in the state of California thus no FBI. The detective in Los Angeles knows the killer is going to depart at a specific time from San Francisco international airport SFO. Who would arrest him at the airport?
Detectives in Los Angeles have statewide jurisdiction, but surely they would need the help from another agency since the arrest will happen in the SFO airport.
There are so many overlapping agencies because the state is so large. The US Marshalls would be called if the killer was a convicted felon on the run but he is not. All of the research I have done continues to lead me back to the LAPD homicide detective making the arrest but that doesn't seem right. Especially since the arrest is going to occur at the airport in a different county.
Both Los Angeles and San Francisco are Charter Counties. But the SFO airport is technically in San Mateo County. Too many jurisdictions.
Well, any help would be greatly appreciated.
