    Default Arrest Warrant After Failing to Appear in Court on Drug Charges

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    I missed my court date a little over a week ago, for possession of methamphetamines (only had 2 pills of adderall on me) and now have an active warrant out for my arrest (just got the letter in the mail today notifying me that there's a warrant out), and the warrant can only be cleared through a court appearance. I missed my original court date due to negligence I honestly looked at my ticket with the court date when I was first given it and for some reason thought it said to appear in October and never ended up reading it again until I got this letter in the mail saying I have a warrant out. I'm going to court this monday, what can i expect? will I be jailed or fined and if I am fined around how much would something like that cost. I don't have any other things on my record, but I did do community service as a minor for a drug diversion program. I haven't really gone through anything like this so i'm kinda scared and dont know what to expect

    There are many things that could happen in court. I suggest consulting a lawyer and getting a sense of what the court is likely to do, and making sure that you have the ability to post bail (or, as they say, bring your toothbrush).
