That explains it. We don't care to spend the money to get him back here so we can release him again. He's your problem now.
Reminds me of a conversation I heard on the street between a city patrol officer and a person with a warrant from another state.
"We know you have a warrant for your arrest in WI. If you would like we can arrest you. If you would not like, you need to move your ass on out-a-here by noon tomorrow because if I see you here tomorrow you get arrested".
Heard on the street in DT Everett WA around 1990.
Just keep moving.
