If the warrant is for a misdemeanor offense, you will not normally be arrested unless you are stopped for a traffic violation or if the police are called to a scene, where you may be. If it's a felony warrant, for a serious violation, such as murder, you will be tracked down, even in another state, and be arrested and extradited.

∙ 14y agoUnless you step up and contact the issuing court to resolve the matter, the police may arrest you at any time that it is convenient for them.
This may mean coming to your work, your school, or your home, or they may simply wait until you file a report or are stopped for a minor traffic violation.
You will then be taken to jail and held until a judge releases you.

∙ 12y agoThere's no such thing as a "search warrant for arrest;" a search warrant and an arrest warrant are two totally different warrants.
The former compels police to search the area or location specified on the warrant. The latter is an order (capias) by a judge to bring a person into custody and to court to answer the charge.
