Failing to appear is the most common arrest warrant issued. Your choices should be discussed with an attorney but you will probably either appear now or appear after the arrest warrant is issued and you have additional charges. If you have already missed the court date, contact the court as soon as possible. They will probably work with you to reset your hearings and quash any outstanding warrant. They don't want to put you through that stuff any more than you do.
Would an attorney help me not be arrested if I was issued a bench warrant for a misdemeanor Do I take care of bench warrant at courthouse or police station?
Your attorney could arrange for you to come in an voluntarily meet with the judge. However, if you encounter law enforcement before that time they'd be required to bring you to the judge on the basis of confirming the bench warrant. The bench warrant is likely for failure to appear, so if your attorney contacts the court to make an appearance with you they may be able to get the warrant set aside. If you know what court the warrant is out of you may be able to contact the clerk of that court and see if there is a bond you could pay to get the warrant set aside until a new court date could be set. Just some ideas. No idea what state, county, or municipality you are in and that absolutely makes a difference in how they do their business. (But your attorney will know). BTW, I am almost positive that no matter where you live, the police station is not the place to take care of it unless you just want to turn yourself in and be booked into jail and see the judge that way.
