If a bench warrant is issued for you, you will be arrested immediately upon being located by the sheriff or police.
If it is a 'normal' bench warrant you will be transported to jail and held for court the next day. If it is a "forthwith" order, you will immediately be transported directly to court and presented to the judge.

A "bench warrant" is a warrant issued by a judge on his sole authority. Only the judge who issued the warrant can vacate the warrant. If he had to issue one to get you to court to testify, you probably won't be released until after your necessity in the court action is ended.
How to report someone that has a warrant for their arrest?
Contact the Sheriff's Department (not the police department) for the COUNTY in which the person is residing and alert them to the person's current location, the county which issued the warrant and the person's name or other identifying information. If the warrant is for a felony or serious misdemeanor, the Sheriff's Department will take it more seriously. If you are reporting them for a lessor offense and the person is outside the county in which the warrant was issued, you may not get any response.
