No. A 'warrant' is not the same as a 'fine.' Someone else can pay a fine for you, but a warrant is for a named individual and the court intends to "see" that individual in person.

How does it work if it says a bond of 500.00?

That means you pay the Court $500.00, and they hold that until trial instead of holding your body until trial. You can call a bail bondsman who will ask you to pay a portion of that amount as a fee, and they will put up the money for you. They will also have many rules you must follow or they will go "off" your bond, and a warrant would be issued for your arrest. At the end of trial, your bond amount is then either released to you, or held to pay your fine.

This would never be recommended as If you cross state lines your charges can become Federal offenses. Assuming you posted a bond and never appeared, a warrant, more commonly known as a bench warrant, will be issued. Your bond posted will be ordered forfeited and a state wide warrant will be issued. In the event someone did this, they would not only have local law enforcement looking for them, but state marshals as well.
