Oral defamation is a tort, not a crime.
However, if a person is charged with a crime (for example, harassment may fit here), that person will be arrested. If they are not allowed bail or cannot make bail, they will wait in the county jail until their case is called to trial.

Is it possible the person named in the warrant is not guilty?
Very much. A warrant is issued before a conviction, and our criminal justice system is based on the idea that we are innocent until proven guilty so a warrant is no indication of guilt. It is also very possible that a warrant can be served on the wrong person. A warrant has all the identifying information available to the court, but it is possible that the information is nothing more than a name and a date of birth.

People should be accused of crimes if there is some substantial evidence that they have committed them. You do not have to be proven guilty in order to be accused, because if a person is not accused, there won't be a trial, and there will therefore be no opportunity to prove either guilt or innocence in a legal sense.
