Getting arrested while on vacation in Tampa Bay is frightening, especially when you live out of state and have a flight home. Whether it happened in Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, Tampa, or another Gulf Coast town, you or a friend or family member may still have Florida court dates to deal with after you leave.

What Visitors Should Know

Being from out of state doesn’t make a Florida charge go away when you head home. Missing a court date can lead to a warrant, which can follow you back to your home state. Common vacation arrests include DUI, disorderly conduct, underage drinking, drug possession, and resisting an officer. Attendance at court dates is often required and should be assumed mandatory unless the court or your attorney explicitly says otherwise. Talk to Attorney Ron Frey before you leave Florida, or as soon as you get home.
