All you do is turn yourself in down at the police station. They will book you, then release you right away. Depending on how busy they are, you can be there anywhere from 20 minutes to a couple of hours. Usually you don't have a bond to pay either. I'm sure there is a chance that states differ. To be sure, call the court house and they'll inform you to go down to the police station for you do have to turn yourself in. I have done it twice. First time was quick, the second about an hour and half. First time, they issued another court date while releasing me right away. I then missed that date again, and had to go to the police station again. That time, my bond could have been $5000 (and for a traffic violation!!), but since I turned myself in, it didn't cost anything... just time. But definitely turn yourself in. You don't want to be picked up, it costs a lot more money, and your "free" time (don't want to go to jail for even for a day).
