What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana

I was arrested almost two years ago while walking home drunk. I was charged with two counts of "Obstructing public passageways" and pled guilty. My punishment was 2 years probation(6/M supervised) and 20 days of community service. I stopped going to see my PO after three appointments, and have not done a single hour of CS. I now have a warrant out. I realize that I can only blame myself for my actions and that I must face the consequences .

I started this post in order to ask a few questions to anyone willing to help. I have been thinking about turning myself in, but I don't know if doing so will make things simple or just add more complications. Would I be put back on probation after getting released? Is it possible to just serve my time in jail and bypass the probation? If so, where should I go to turn myself in? Should I hire a lawyer for such a simple offence ? Thank you for your help in advanc

Go to the police or Sheriff's department and turn yourself in. You shown probation doesn't work for you, so there's a good chance you will get to serve time instead.
