What to do regarding extradition and fugitive recovery?

I shoplifted a $12 DVD, so the state enhanced a Class C midameanor to a state jail felony. I’m done stealing since I received an inheritance with a lot of money. I know that id you do the crime you must do the time. I left the state so will there be taskforce after me? Am I safe outside the state? Would they chase after me or extradite me? I have the lowest felony, a state jail felony. I haven’t even been convicted just indicted. Do counties have bars or guidelines on which felony warrants dserve priority attention?
