Hello g:
How? Well, it didn't get adjudicated, that's how. It's not going to go away. Hire a lawyer there or go yourself.

It is possible that it was not put into the NCIC national data base and only showed up on the state system of the state it was issued. Also even if stopped they will only hold you if the other state is willing to pay to have you transported.
