Any offense under this article shall be held to have been committed in any county in which such wife, child or children may be at the time such complaint is made. Whenever the judge within whose jurisdiction an offense under this article is alleged to have been committed shall, after an investigation of the facts and circumstances thereof, certify that, in his opinion, the charge is well founded and the case a proper one for extradition, or in any case, if the cost of extradition is borne by the parties interested in the case, the person charged with having left the state with the intention of evading the terms of his probation, or of abandoning or deserting his wife, child or children shall be apprehended and brought back to the county having jurisdiction of the case, in accordance with the law providing for the apprehension and return to this state of fugitives from justice, and, upon conviction, punished as provided in this article. When the judge of said court shall certify, as above provided, all costs incurred by the sheriff or other officers in bringing such husband or parent from other states, or from other counties in this state, into the county where the said offense shall have been committed and all costs incident to such extradition of such husband, parent or parents shall be paid by the county in which such offense shall have been committed, and the county commission shall make such appropriation as may be necessary to carry into effect the provisions and purposes of this section.
