Informed by who? And how?
If you got a call by someone who identifed themselves as the police, and they verified your name, and they told you to come down, you probably should.
If the police left a card or note on your door, then while you still probably should, it is doubtful you will be in trouble for not doing so, as they can't really prove you got the note.
If it is simply that the person who swore out the order has told you to go down, you need not bother unless you want to. Same if any friend or family member told you.
However, the restraining order will not go away for ignoring it. You may as well pick it up, as if you don't, the police may try and serve you at your place of employment - that never goes over well with the boss.
Also, you are going to want to know what it says. What it alleges. And then you will want to get competent legal advice from an attorney in your area so you can learn what options you have.
Failure to appear at the hearing after you have been served, or other wise receive the order, will most likely result in the court finding against you.
Pick up the order then. Learn what is being alleged. Get advice from an attorney. Defend your rights.
