If I have a warrant from a court date I missed, what do I do?
It was for trespassing, although I really wasn’t the person was lying. I thought it was in another month. My life has been kind of chaotic and I don’t want to go to jail for an honest mistake for a crime that I didn’t commit. How can I resolve this? don’t currently have any money to pay any fines.

Typically if you have a warrant for a missed court date, you have to either wallk-in court or schedule a new court date to address the warrant. The judge may want to know what caused you to miss your court date when he/she applies a new bond or schedules you for a new court date.
