Default Need Advice on Misdemeanor Charges

Hello and thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I maybe charged soon on 45 misdemeanor counts of zoning violations for property in a state I do not live.

If I chose to ignore these charges, is it possible to be arrested in one state on misdemeanor charges from another?

The charges are class C which is the most "insignificant" of the misdemeanors. They carry up to a 90 day jail term, and $1000 dollar fine for each charge.

I would have no need, to go back to the state in question so that is not a concern.

Any general advice is appreciated, as I have never been charged with a crime before.

Also, it is a criminal and not civil infraction.

Thanks,

MJC
