Unless you turn yourself in, a police officer will arrest you at the first opportunity regardless of what your are doing or what problem it causes to you. You may be arrested at work and then fired, you may be arrested at home and your kids put in foster care. You will be booked and photographed and held until you appear in front of a judge for the shoplift and the failure to appear. You will probably be held until trial because you already failed to appear once.

Things aren't going to go too well for the individual that didn't show up. If there is probable cause to believe that he was involved a warrant may be issued for his arrest. If the hearing that he missed was a "judicial" hearing a bench warrant may be issued for him. The fact that he failed to show up might even be used as a 'tacit admission' that he is, in fact, guilty of the offense.
