I definitely want to be proactive here. I just want to make sure I go about it in the right way. Should I go to the court? Or to the police station. I want to go with cash in hand! To pay the bail or fine, whichever is needed. If I go to the police they will just arrest me and take me to court. Maybe I should just go to the court? And I should probably go to my parole officer with this first. One, it's in a different county and I'd need permission to go there anyway. But she may also be able to help me with this! I just don't want to tell her either until I have cash in hand. I just hope they aren't jerks! about the whole thing! I WOULD of shown up to court! But the same county had me doing an 8 an year bid.
You should find an attorney and the attorney can accompany you to the court that issued the warrant. Your attorney can speak to your parole officer to get permission to leave the county to go to court.

I think it smarter to go to the court. If you go to the police station, you might find yourself sitting in jail for awhile.

But follow your attorney's advice and direction.
