Since it’s a state matter can he just stay out of Georgia? If state authorities descend on him outside of Georgia, what’s the procedure when they encounter the federal secret service?
There’s these things called warrants and a process called extradition. As for the secret service, they won’t interfere except to make sure that he isn’t sent to general population which probably wouldn’t be a problem as he would presumably be given bail. Assuming he’s convicted it’s not entirely clear what will happen because, well, it’s never happened before. Theoretically he’d be treated just like any other famous inmate.
I don’t think that’s ever been tested, but it’s likely the Secret Service and state authorities would coordinate on his arrest. Trump doesn’t get to use the Secret Service as a shield against the justice system.
