Opinion
JOHNSON, J.
Penal Code section 1305, subdivision (g) provides a means for exonerating the bail of a fleeing defendant if the bail bond agency locates the defendant in another jurisdiction and brings him before a local law enforcement officer but the district attorney elects not to seek the defendant’s extradition.

We conclude it did and reverse the judgment forfeiting bail.
