Besides having an open warrant youi are more likely to be facing jail time given the circumstances. It might be wise to hire an attoreny to go in for you get the warrant recalled and try and resolve this before you are stopped and arrested.

Jail.

For each misdemeanor you face up to a year in jail. Effective plea-bargaining, using whatever defenses and sympathies you may have, could possibly keep you out of jail/prison, or at least dramatically reduce it, depending upon all the facts and evidence. Not exactly a do it yourself project in court for someone who does not know how to effectively represent himself against a professional prosecutor intending to convict you. If serious about hiring counsel, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help you use whatever defenses you may have. If you can't afford private counsel, apply for the Public Defender.
