At this point, you need to consult a criminal law attorney who practices in the jurisdiction that issued the warrant. They can use their local court contacts to your best advantage rgading hte warrant and the uderlying charge. Furhter, you will have to travel back and appear in court regarding this matter. The fact is that warrants do not expire, so the sooner you clear this up the better for you.
