Legal Question in Criminal Law in Mississippi

Ok I have a friend who was arrested last year for misdemeanor disorderly conduct and she went to court for it once but couldn't make it back to her second court date. She called the court house to find out what she needed to do since she missed it and they said that nothing was showing up under her social security number. Then she looked at her police report and they have her social security number wrong by just one number. So if she got stopped and they ran the correct number would anything show up? Also is there anything she should do about it, or should she just leave it alone?

SHE NEEDS TO CONTACT THE COURT AT ONCE BECAUSE EVENTUALLY THEY WILL CORRECT THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND THEY PROBABLY HAVE ALREADY ISSUED A WARRANT FOR HER ARREST FOR FAILING TO APPEAR AT COURT ON THE SECOND DATE.

FURTHER THEY MAY CHARGE HER WITH PROVIDING FALSE INFORMATION, BLAMING THE MISTAKE ON HER "INTENTIONALLY" GIVING THEM AN INCORRECT NUMBER.

THAT WOULD RESULT IN HER FUTURE ARREST TOO.
